The season proper is set to proceed this weekend without any further delays and will feature the 8 established clubs.

The Lightning 12 Aside Challenge has set the new season rolling with a healthy number of clubs ready to compete for this year’s Moni Plus Cup.

The eight established clubs are West Eagles, Dockers, Koboni, Magpies, Bombers, Tigers, Swans and Cats minus Gordons Kokofas (suspended)and PNG Power.

In Saturday’s grand final showdown, Kokofas were leading by 2 points only seconds before the end of the third quarter when supporters invaded the field.

It appeared that intoxicated supporters and opportunists took advantage of the on-field players’ altercation, this escalated the situation by running on the field of play. This resulted in some players and supporters sustaining injuries. The melee went on for a good 10 minutes before police intervened to restore some order.
