The boys from Jiwaka  led by Waghi Tumbe duo Saki Peter at five-eight and Joe "the tank"Frank in the center set the platform for their team in the first half with former Rabaul Guria prop Gene Markham opening the scoring with a try only minutes into the contest followed by Saki Peter with good ball skill, the footwork and speed slipping through  Ninjas defence to race away to score untouched  at 12-0 until halftime.

In second stanza was a display of brutal defense resulting countless drop balls but both teams kept their cool.
