Although several teams have yet to formally submit their entries and pay the required fees, Secretary of Athletics PNG (APNG), Philip Rehder confirmed that there has been strong interest from around the country.
“Teams are expected to fly in from Port Moresby, Popondetta, Manus, New Ireland, East Sepik and from both East and West New Britain.
“Large teams are expected from Simbu and Madang plus a good number from Western Highlands and from Enga Province following the staging of a Provincial Championship in Wabag last weekend,” said Rehder.
