Four unanswered tries have given the Agmark Rabaul Gurias a 20-0 lead over the PRK Mendi Muruks at half-time here at Kalabond Oval.
With a vocal home crowd behind them, the Gurias came out with all guns blazing in Digicel Cup’s round 3 match. The Muruks were forced to mostly defend in the opening minutes as the Gurias threatened to score.
It was the former Muruks player, now Gurias halfback Stanley Olo, who scored the first try in the 7th minute after a barnstorming run to slam the ball over on the wing. The Gurias continued to dominate possession and were in again right before the 20-minute mark when a short ball to Pidi Tongap opened up a gap for him to barge over to score.
Jason Missian added the extras to put the score out to 10-0. Poor defence from the Muruks cost them more points as Olo grabbed his second in similar fashion, scoring on the wing. The Gurias continued to attack the same wing and found success again two minutes out from the break when a flying Konie Bernard scored the fourth try of the game.
Missian made it 2 from 4 attempts to convert the try.
