With his sisters Lata Kaumatule as first assistant referee and Paita Lelenga as fourth official, referee Sione Lelenga couldn’t have picked a better crew.
“It was a great moment when we were called to officiate the final match between Veitongo United and Navutoka. It was the first time it’s happened since I started refereeing,” he said.
“I was so excited when they announced the trio, and that I would work together with my two sisters.
I felt very secure and confident knowing that I’m with them.”
His confidence doesn’t stem from family ties alone.
