Biskitop Biscuits, the official sponsor of Biskitop Zulu Riders, the new club on the block in the Port Moresby Rugby League Competition this year, has given the club major support with a donation of 500 Biskitop Biscuit cartons.
The Club members were all smiles when they were presented 500 cartons of Bisketop biscuits in assorted flavors from the Biskitop Producer, Epac Limited yesterday afternoon at their warehouse at 9 miles.
Mr. Brian Kombe who was the spokesperson for the Biskitop Biscuits when presenting the 500 biscuit cartons highlighted that these biscuits are for the club to sell and raise funds to keep the club financially afloat all throughout the PRL season.
“There are no free hand outs, we give you the biscuits, you sell these cartons and make money for the club so you can pay player registrations, training equipment and also for logistics.”
“These 500 cartons are for this month, Biskitop will give you 500 cartons every month until the end of the year”, Mr. Kombe added.
Vice President and Coaching Director of the Club Mr. Steve Gunua, who was formally the Central Dabaris Coach, thanked Mr. Lee and the Epac Company Limited for their continues support through their product brand Biskitop.
“This is a very generous contribution to the club, and we are thankful,” Gunua said.
“My team will sell these biscuits and all income from this first 500 carton sales will go towards our Players Registrations.”
Gunua added that the Biskitop Zulu Club has 3 divisions, A Grade, under 20, and the Open Women’s Division with a total of 85 team members, and individual player registration is K20 so a total of K1,700 is needed; therefore, the takings from the first sale will be put to player registrations.
Further Mr. Gunua stated that despite being a new club in the Port Moresby Rugby League Competition the teams are performing satisfactorily, with their A Grade team on 8th placing out of 16 teams, under 20 Team on 5th place and their Open Woman’s team on 8th place out of 16 teams.
“This is a team from ward 12 in Moresby North- East made up of players from 9mile to Quarry, Bomana, Turnoff, Makana and Bush Wara area, thus, this is about creating an avenue for youths to explore their skills and make better choices in life through rugby league.”
“We are hoping that through are new club more youths can get involve in rugby league, make a career from it, hopefully getting someone from here to 2028 NRL Bid”, said Mr. Gunua.
