[QUOTE="Tautahi, post: 690069, member: 71306"] The highest local Premier Club competition this year ended last Month with Champions Marist Apifo'ou taking out the cup with a 36-30 win over Tongan Army side. Tongatapu Premier Rugby is the highest form of rugby that's played in Tonga. There is Premier division, below it is the senior division and below that is development. There is relegation/promotion between divisions,Traditional major clubs are Marist Apifo'ou, Sila Pelu Ua, Ha'ateiho Spartans, and Toloa Old Boys. Due to the rise of Romanian Superliga and Sri Lankan Pro league many of the local stars have been lured into to these competitions because financial reasons. If you look at or national team we only have one player from the local club competition. Because the gap between the local players and overseas players is massive there is no shortage of talent there it's just no money in the local competition to have academies for player development. That's why many potentially look overseas if given the opportunity. [/QUOTE]
