Team West were crowned the overall winners of the revived Golf Fiji East v West Tournament held at the FSC Ba Golf Club last weekend.
West edged out East 27-21 in a spirited showdown of talent, teamwork, and regional pride.
Tournament Director Rohit Chandra confirmed that Team West clinched victories in nearly all grades, winning A Grade, B Grade, C Grade and the Juniors category. The only division they missed out on was the Ladies, where Team East triumphed with a 5-1 win.
“The event was a grand success. West won all grades except the Ladies division. We’re grateful to Ba Golf Club for hosting this year and everyone praised the excellent course condition,” Chandra said.
“The best part is that the event has been revived after a lapse of a few years during COVID. All clubs are now fully engaged,” Chandra added.
He also acknowledged the efforts of the Golf Fiji executives and President Amitesh Chandra for ensuring the smooth running of the tournament.
Looking ahead, next year’s tournament will be hosted by the Fiji Golf Club, and Golf Fiji is already working on securing sponsorships to support uniforms, transportation, and possibly accommodation for players.
The success of this year’s event marks a promising future for inter-district golf in Fiji, as Golf Fiji continues to foster competitive play among local clubs.
