Dabaris

During play at the Moresby South Stadium on Saturday, the referee and touch-judges missed the attempted pass by Pepena, which led to the Reds being penalized in extra time.

From a penalty on the 40-metre mark, a quick passage of play resulted in the match winner by Lega Batia on the left edge, sinking the hopes of the Lealea village team.

The Dabaris Bartholomew Evi scored a double with his first try runaway which Batia converted to put them in front 6- 0 in the 13^th mark.

Batia then kicked a penalty goal to increase it to 8- 0.

Opening up the score board for the Dabaris was young Josh Erico, who had a sudden break through the Cutters defence line from the 30 meter mark, and raced for the ball to score his first try for the Dabaris, giving them a 4-point lead.

Cutters later picked up a penalty and secured two points.

In the 34^th minute, Jar Hogan forced his way through the Dabaris defence to score the Cutters’ first converted try, which put them ahead with 6 points to 4.
