He acknowledges the work of so many athletes who have trained tirelessly, the coaches and trainers who mentored them, the parents who have stood by them, and the old scholars who continue to support and inspire the next generation.
“A special acknowledgement must go to our schools, teachers, and principals whose unwavering dedication makes this event possible year after year.”
Uluinaceva also honoured the legacy of the late Vuli Waqa, a man whose vision and dedication he says helped shape the Fiji Finals.
