Inaugural Rugby League Challenge Kicks Off In East Timor

The International Stabilisation Force (ISF) has established an annual rugby league charity match between Australian and New Zealand soldiers deployed to East Timor.

Locals lined Dili Stadium as representatives from the two partner nations competed to help raise funds for local orphanages.

The New Zealanders won the bragging rights for at least a year, winning six tries to five.

Post match, players from both teams set up a coaching clinic for the local kids and presented them with sporting equipment donated by the Aspley Leagues Club.
