World Footy News

The Fiji Times has reported the start to the new (2015) Aussie Rules footy season in Fiji. The season got underway across the second last weekend of May and continued on with Round 2 across this last weekend of May just gone.

Week 1 saw the new improved AFL Fiji ‘Bulakick’ program underway – with a great turnout of kids who loved their new Bulakick backpacks and footies. This program runs 9 to 10.30 am on Saturday mornings for kids aged 4 to 11.

All matches are conducted at Maile Park playing grounds, University of the South Pacific (USP), Laucala Bay Road, Suva (enter through main gate and continue past the USP gym and tennis courts) – for any locals or expats passing through who want to have a look.

The season fixture provides for a weekly schedule of 9am Bulakick; 11am Womens match on Ground 1 and 9am and 11am mens matches on Ground 2.

The AFL Fiji Men’s competition was relaunched in mid-May with new teams and captains.
Cats Kaukauwa captained by Nathan Wesley
Giant Gata captained by Filipe Valesu
Swans Rerevaki captained by Sulio Magiti
Lion Killa captained by Isimeli Qiolevu
