Flying start for rugby player

PNG Raggianas striker Naomi John was given a timely assistance of K2,000 yesterday from the Regional Aviation Academy towards her travels with the PNG team to the Fiji Marist sevens.
The sponsorship is a boost for the young forward who will use the money to pay for her levy fees and other personal expenses.
Defence Rugby Union Club patron Commodore Peter Ilau was there to support Naomi who is a member of the Defence women’s Rugby Union Club.
At a small presentation at Murray Barracks yesterday, the Academy principal Nick Kuiaha said the donation was more than just seeing Naomi advance in her sport, it was also a gesture for corporate organisations and the government to aid the young people pursuing their dreams and aspirations
“I believe in discipline and I am very happy to support a disciplined young lady. I am appealing to other corporate and State bodies to support the other players in the PNG Raggianas team and other sporting young people.”
