The DWU Unity Rugby League Team will be taking part in this year’s Vice Chancellor’s Cup which will take place on the 21st to the 23rd of this month in Port Moresby.
The 3-day tournament will be hosted by the University of Papua New Guinea.
President of the DWU Unity rugby team, Mr. Joel James, said that the team has started competitions at the beginning of the academic year followed by selections of the best players who will be representing DWU and competing in the VC cup.
“We have prepared ourselves in advance with two weeks left for training before we head into the tournament.”
“Based on the performance of each player, we have selected only twenty best players out of forty to take part in this year’s Vice Chancellors Cup.”
James said that as the president, he has faith in the players that have been selected and hopes that they will win the VC Cup.
“As the president, I have spoken many times to my team and trained them in the best ways possible in order for them to perform well and I have indeed seen a great change in them during the two weeks of training,” Team President James said.
Divine Word University will be sponsoring the team together with the SRC committee.
The team is also raising funds as well to cover the costs of their travelling air fares and accommodation.
“We appeal to both the DWU community and the Madang community to support wherever they can in our fundraising activities,” James said.
