Executive Branch Too Good for Fono

17200218

And the winner is ASG Executive Branch.

After several postponements due to bad weather, the first race for Flag Day 2016, took place this afternoon with just the Fono, rowing in Iseula o le Moana and the Executive Branch using the Sinapioa.

Commentator Tau Toluono who was with the Race Committee on the Marine Patrol Unit said the race course was under two miles and for the first two minutes the Fono fautasi, with Speaker Savali Talavou Ale at the helm, was in front.

But Lt. Governor Lemanu Peleti Mauga and the ASG fautasi quickly overtook their only competitor and  never looked back.

It crossed the finish line in front of Asco Motors Malaloa, at least 3 fautasi lengths ahead of the Fono .

The two longboats will be joining the village fautasi in the two preliminary heats tomorrow.
