THE Ngossi Ward Independence Sports Day concluded successfully this week with a prize presentation at White River School. The event, which began over the weekend, saw teams from the surrounding Ngossi Ward community competing in 3×3 Basketball and seven-a-side soccer.

This initiative, spearheaded by Ward Councilor and Chairman of the HCC Works Division, Honorable Rex Konofilia, aims to unite West Honiara communities and uncover local sporting talent.

The seven-a-side soccer tournament commenced on Saturday and culminated in Thursday’s prize presentation. The 3×3 Basketball competition was a one-day event held on Sunday, with its presentation taking place the same day.

Honorable Rex Konofilia, during the prize presentation for the seven-a-side soccer winners, celebrated the success of the six-day Ngossi Ward Independence tournament.

“This event is not about its prizes but about unifying our people, the people of Ngossi Ward. We must develop in our youths a sense of belonging, responsibility, and ownership of our beloved Ngossi Ward. Through unity, we can confront and overcome the pressing issues and challenges we face in our daily lives within our communities, and that is what should be captured through our participation in this tournament,” Konofilia stated.

Konofilia also expressed gratitude to Bulk Shop for supporting the event with trophies, emphasizing the community’s appreciation and hopes for ongoing support.

“Thank you to all participating teams and the community of White River for being the host. Special appreciation goes to the supporters for your tireless efforts in supporting our teams and making this tournament a success. God bless our beloved Ngossi Ward. Our games, our ward, one people,” he concluded.

The Ngossi Ward Independence Sports Day not only highlighted local sporting talents but also fostered a sense of unity and community spirit among the participants and residents.
