THE Nigeria Rugby Football Federation (NRFF) has announced that the
2017 Super Cup match between Northern League winners, Barewa RFC and South West
champions, Cowrie RFC, will now hold on Saturday March 4th at the Old Parade
Ground, Garki Area 10 (Opposite International Conference Centre), Abuja.
According to the NRFF Vice President, Fasimoye Olatunji, this
year’s edition of competition which was earlier scheduled to hold on February 18
had to be postponed due to logistic problems.
“The postponement became necessary as all logistics cannot be met
at this time considering the choice of location to host the event. We really
wanted to have the game on Saturday 18th February in Abuja but cannot meet up
with the required logistics to create the desired awareness for the event. We apologize
for any inconveniences,” Fasimoye said.
“The Super Cup is always a
great way to start the new season with the Northern and South-West League
winners Cowrie Rugby Club and Barewa Rugby Club battling it out in a showpiece
occasion in front of a big crowd. Looking
around our various Leagues, we expect all clubs to have strengthened going into
the new campaign with a very high expectation on the players from the federation”,
said Fasimoye, who is also the Technical Director of the federation.
