Meanwhile, another Nepalese community group in Christchurch, the Nepal New Zealand Friendship Society Inc. (NNZFS), which was established in 2002, organised a cricket tournament—NNZFSC Panthi Cup Cricket—between various Nepalese cricket teams in Christchurch on January 15.
Apart from trophies for the winning team, the man-of-the-match winners also received free passes to the organisation's first-ever Nepali Yuwa Saanjh being organised on February 25. NNZFSC is hosting the event in collaboration with the Gorkhali Football Club.
