By Management

Me and my team have been mandated and tasked to run the Leo Levo cup 2021.

Leo Levo presented cheque worth K5, 000 towards the tournament.

1st price - K1, 500 - Next Door Brothers
2nd price - K1, 000 - Dardside Reds
3rd price - K750 - Hillside Rabbitohs
4th price - K500 - Mountain Eels

I would like to take this time to thank Leo Levo our major sponsor for supporting this tournament and look forward for your continous support for the next 4 years. Vote 1 Leo Levo Box # 24. Thanks Chris Nelson for linking us to the Sponsor. Much appreciated.

Also want to thank my Coordinators, Moses Nick Staks Groxbond, Jack Nobe & Nelson Nobe. Support from Aaron Tokopae n Uncle Lexie and not forgeting Kilsen our Marshall.

Me and my Coordinators initiated the idea last year December 2020, basically engage the youths to play sports to keep away from illicit drugs and alcohol consumption during Easter, we planned and the first notice was sent out in February 2021.Our initial plan A was to accomodate 32 teams, that didnt work out so when the Nationwide Isoation Strategy came into effect when Covid 19 cases where on the rise, our plan B was to get only 16 teams but that didnt work out too so when reached the registration fee due date on the 21st of April, we had only 10 teams registered and that night we finalised everything which we fall into plan C. Those teams that came late after the due date we had to reject them because draws and finals format have been finalised.

Also want to thank the boys who assisted us cut the grasses on the field and ruled the lines and community for allowing us play on the field, the 10 teams who registeted , their officials, referees and linemens for volunteering and John from Post Courier.

The tournament cost us almost K7, 000 to run. We are compling our report to present to our sponsor.

Lastly this year was a sucessful one and we will do it again next year 2022 bigger and better one.

All glory and honor go back to God.

Blessed Day.
