Jai Narayan College Eyes Development Opportunities in Deans Debut

Jai Narayan College is stepping onto the national stage with its inaugural participation in the Fiji Secondary Schools Vodafone Deans competition. This significant milestone for the Under-17 team is viewed by Head Coach Josua Moko not just as a sporting event, but as a crucial developmental platform for his students.

Moko highlighted that the competition offers invaluable experience, preparing players both academically and athletically. He believes the Deans competition provides a vital pathway for young athletes, fostering growth and potentially unlocking doors to future careers in rugby and beyond. "We have so many opportunities, and this is something that has been missing over the years for us to prepare our students holistically," Moko stated.

The school's decision to enter the prestigious tournament stems from a commitment to student ambition. Whether aspirations lie within Fiji or on the international rugby scene, Jai Narayan College seeks to equip its students with the skills and exposure needed to succeed. "This is an opportune time for them to develop their skills, and who knows, maybe in the future they can represent their school or even secure a contract overseas and represent their country," Moko added.

The 2026 Deans competition officially launched today, with matches set to commence this Saturday. For Jai Narayan College, this debut represents a significant investment in its students' futures, aiming to build a lasting legacy within Fijian schoolboy rugby.
