JRA Limited has come on board with a K5,000 financial assistance to the Southern Highlands Rugby Union team Mendi Mustangs. The Mustangs are currently taking part in the Kumul Petroleum Holdings Limited Super 7’s Series in Port Moresby.
The funding was presented to the Team by JRA Limited Chief Executive Officer Jacob Anga, at the 5mile Camp recently.
“I will continue to support Mustangs in future tournaments too. I urge other business houses and organizations to come forward and help bring the game forward in Southern Highlands. I ‘am proud to see the Team compete with the rest of Papua New Guinea in a national event,” said CEO Anga.
As a former player, who was part of the PNG Pukpuks squad in the 1990’s, Mr Anga said the gesture is not only about financial help but to grow the rugby union code back in Mendi. He said there are talented players who need guidance and proper support.
Mendi Rugby Football Union President, Robin Asok, thanked JRA Limited for the sponsorship, saying that finding sponsors has been very difficult for the team. He said this will assist their stay in the nation’s capital during the KPHL Super 7’s Series.
“We are grateful for this support,” said Asok.
Apart from major sponsors KPHL, Cane Construction Limited assisted with K3,000, with some support coming from Kumin Catholic Church Bishop, Donald Lippert.
Mendi Mustangs have been competing in PNG Rugby Football Union sanctioned tournaments since 2012 and have produced talents like PNG Pukpuks regular, Wesley Vali and Orchids 7’s star, Tere Rema.
