CPL Supports Touch Rugby Teams at National Championships

CPL Group was proud to support two teams who participated recently in the 2026 PNG National Touch Rugby Championships in Port Moresby.

As part of our community engagement efforts, CPL donated 10 cartons of water to the Lae Corporate Touch Rugby Association to support players competing in the week-long tournament and preparing for selections for the 2027 Touch Rugby World Cup in New Zealand.

CPL also provided medications and essential health supplies to VLAS Touch Club from East New Britain. The club, established by Elipas Pidik Jnr and Daniel Luana, uses sport to create positive opportunities for unemployed youth by promoting discipline, teamwork, healthy lifestyles, and community engagement.

Both teams demonstrated outstanding commitment, with players fundraising and making personal contributions to participate in the championships.

At CPL, we believe in supporting initiatives that strengthen communities, promote healthy lifestyles, and empower Papua New Guinea’s young people through sport.
