EDITORS COMMENTS
A captivating scene from the inter-village cricket match, also known as Kirikiti, on the enchanting island of Fiji, as vividly described in Lieut.-Colonel T.R. St-Johnston's South Sea Reminiscences. The photograph, dated 1922, showcases the Loma Loma A team in high spirits, eager to distinguish themselves from their opposition. The players, dressed in simple yet colorful attire, have gathered on a sun-kissed field, surrounded by lush greenery and the soothing sounds of the nearby sea. The unique style of the Loma Loma A team members is a striking sight to behold. Half of their heads are shaved, while the other side remains long and flowing. This distinctive look not only sets them apart from their opponents but also adds an intriguing element to the already exhilarating match. The Fijian islanders, with their unwavering passion for cricket, engage in this friendly yet competitive game, showcasing their skills and camaraderie. The atmosphere is filled with a sense of excitement and anticipation as the players take their positions, ready to face off against their rivals from neighboring villages. The game of cricket, which was introduced to Fiji by British colonizers in the late 19th century, has since become an integral part of the island's rich cultural heritage. Kirikiti matches are a cherished tradition, bringing together communities and fostering a spirit of unity and friendly competition. As the sun begins to set over the idyllic landscape, the players continue their battle on the field, their determination and sportsmanship evident in every move they make. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the simple pleasures of life, such as a friendly cricket match, brought people together in the beautiful and diverse island nation of Fiji.
