After 27 years off the playing field due to the 1994 twin volcano eruptions, the revived Rabaul Rugby League competition had successfully concluded the 2021 season, staging the grand final between favorites Tavui Giants and minor premiers, Rabaul Brothers.
East New Britain Governor, Nakius Konga had the honours to kick off the main game under a capacity crowd at the historic Queen’s Park.
As both teams got into their groove, Brothers were first to put points on the board from a successful penalty kick to put them in front at 2-nil.
