Police have reclaimed the Ratu Sukuna Bowl Touch rugby title after edging Army 9\u20138 in a fiercely contested match on Nasova Grounds.<\/p>\n
Police captain Paul Darroch says the team entered the game with a clear determination not to be defeated on their home turf, especially after last year\u2019s loss at the HFC Bank Stadium.<\/p>\n

He describes the clash as an intense and relentless battle, with both sides fighting hard for every point.<\/p>\n
Darroch emphasizes that the match was far from a typical club-level touch rugby game, noting the physicality and roughness that reflected the long-standing rivalry between the two forces.<\/p>\n
Despite the intensity on the field, Darroch highlights that the camaraderie between the two teams remain strong off the pitch.<\/p>\n
He says the team was determined to retain the title and protect their home soil, making full use of the home crowd advantage.<\/p>\n
The captain revealed that players even bled during the match, something he calls normal for Nasova grounds due to the high level of physical commitment.<\/p>\n
Looking ahead, Darroch hopes the victory will set positive momentum for other Police teams competing in the remaining Ratu Sukuna Bowl competition.<\/p>\n
He dedicates the win to God, the Police organization, their families, and supporters, acknowledging the collective strength behind the team\u2019s success.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Army defeated Police 8-4 in the Mix Touch rugby and the oldies will take the field at 2.30pm at Nasova Grounds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Police reclaim Sukuna Bowl Men\u2019s Touch Rugby title in a thrilling 9\u20138 win over Army Police have reclaimed…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":291574,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[567],"tags":[64,63,760,85,167720],"class_list":{"0":"post-291573","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-rugby","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-rugby","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-sukuna-bowl"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/291573","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=291573"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/291573\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/291574"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=291573"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=291573"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=291573"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
