Tabubil Cats sink their claws into Australian rugby tournaments

Our Exploration Drilling team recently chalked up its hat-trick as a major sponsor of the Tabubil Cats Rugby Union Club, giving the team the opportunity to compete in some of Australian rugby’s premier tournaments.

Fresh from the recent Australian tour, Tabubil Cats Coach, Anthony Aruha, from our client Ok Tedi Mining Limited, lets the cat out of the bag regarding all the tournaments’ big hits and misses…

A squad of 21 Tabubil Cats rugby players from Papua New Guinea (PNG) recently returned from a two-week long rugby tour to Australia. The team competed in the 2012 Fi-ta Bondi Tens rugby tournament held in Bondi, Sydney, from 10–11 February and the 2012 Palm Beach Alleygator Tens tournament held on the Gold Coast from 18–19 February.

Tribute - Kelly Seneka

The Cats were saddened recently with the news of the passing of a member of the team in Lae, Morobe Province.

In July this year, Tabubil Rugby received sad news of the passing of Kelly Seneka.

Seneka was a member of the first-ever Cats Australian tour to the Palm Beach Currumbin Alleygators Rugby Tens Tournament in February 2010.

After the tour, Seneka left Tabubil to take up a new job as cameraman with local television company, EMTV. It was during filming of the Digicel Stars Singing competition/auditions in Lae, Morobe Province that Seneka passed on.

Seneka was great company to keep and was a kind and humble young man. His creativity and input is sorely missed.

RIP
