THE Fiji National Rugby League presented certificates of appreciation to the sponsors of the two-match series between Fiji Residents and Australian Country League teams yesterday.

Certificates were presented to executives of Pacific Energy, Damodar Event Cinemas, SportsWorld and Signs Plus during a media conference at the FNRL head office in Domain.

Chief executive officer Timoci Naleba said any type of assistance by sponsors was appreciated by FNRL.

“I’m actually a doer. I don’t talk much. I’m glad to have people who are doers here. We have a plan to take us to 2025,” Naleba said.

“I hope that through this journey, you’ll be part of us. We are so glad that you have already shown that commitment. But we want you to be here with us all the way. Thank you very much for your kind support.

“Whether it is one cent, two cents or a few hundred dollars, we will always appreciate that,” Naleba said.

Pacific Energy sponsored the series for $10000. They were also presented with autographed jerseys of both teams. Damodar Event Cinemas supplied 20 movie tickets which were provided to winners of the primary schools curtain-raiser match in Suva. SportsWorld provided 10 match balls and banners were sponsored by Signs Plus.

Fiji Residents lost both matches in the series against the touring Australian Country League team last month.
