The NCD Governors Christmas Cup has a Judiciary Committee that is looking into solving issues that might hinder the tournament.

Chairman of the Judiciary of the 2016 Governors Christmas Cup sergeant Steven Waula said there were a few issues between players and officials but that was sorted out during the course of the tournament.

“We had a few small hiccups, a few complaints by players about referees, we had too instances and we have sorted it out and since then no big complains all has been going well,”

He added that the tournament has seen good performances by all teams playing, while the tournament is set for finals tomorrow police presence will be on hand for crowd control.

He further went on to say that discipline was a key issue and urged all players to always be disciplined during the tournament.

“NCD Police will be present for the finals, and Governor Powes Parkop will do the presentations in the finals.

“Discipline is a contributing factor that determines what type of result you have after a game, and so when you understand the game and you are disciplined and that promotes good sportsmanship in the sport of rugby league.

“If you are not disciplined and cause problems than we won’t have a good tournament all must respect the referees and the touch judges they are the ones who ensure the game is played fairly if they are disrupted in performing their duties than the game will not progress well.

“Should there be any problems complaints should come to the organizers like me and we can sort out grievances and we all can be happy about the tournament and the festive season,” Waula said.
