Kawaso backs Defence club
FORMER Defence Force personnel and
chairman of Kawaso Contractors Kossy Sosoro has come to the aid of
Defence Rugby Football League club in Port Moresby by presenting
two sets of uniform and K2,000 on Saturday.
The uniform was certainly a morale booster which added some tonic
to their performance as the soldiers ran rings around the
competition leaders Bishop Brothers hammering them 20-8.
Sosoro said Kawaso was not a big company. He has won contract with
Oil Search in Kutubu Oilfields and decided to support Defence
Rugby League club.
“As a former solider I feel that it is proper for him to assist
them. It’s a small token of appreciation of what PNG Defence Force
have been good to me during my term as a serviceman,” he said with
a smile.
Kawaso not only sponsored Defence alone, it also sponsored Hawks
Rugby Football League club in Mendi League, Southern Highlands.
Sosoro said he decided to put back some money in Southern
Highlands where he conducts business and believes that Hawks RFL’s
sponsorship is the right choice.
The chairman made a commitment to support Kawaso Defence RFLC next
year despite the outcome of 2007 season.
Interim president of Defence Force Rugby Football League club
Major Michael Percy Marai thanked Kossy Sosoro and Kawaso
Contractors for supporting his club.
He said the club has been struggling without a major sponsor, and
the sponsorship was timely as they move into the second round of
the competition,
Major Marai sounded a warning to other clubs that Defence will be
no easy beat with the backing from the contractors from Oil Search
in Kutubu.
“We will be much stronger and ever as Hawks felt it. The win
against Hanuabada Hawks victory is the third consecutive win for
the Defence, and we will certainly be in the finals,” he said.
