KPHL Super 7s Series

Morobe Rugby Union is hoping to play two teams in the Super 7s Sries tournament and they are Hammerheads and its development Club, Tiger Sharks.

Hammerheads was recently awarded the National Performance of the year 2022, at the SP Sports Awards.

Despite this on field success, Morobe RU President Lionel Kamiak said many of its players have crossed over to Rugby League, leaving the club struggling. However, with the depth of talent in production line, there is enough to cover for the loss.

They walked away with K4,000 prize money and the trophy.

Before Sunday's Cup final, both Hammerheads and Rebels lost a game each during respective pool matches and had to overcome a stiff challenge from the other top 8 contenders East  New Britain (Dawapia), AROB (Black Orchids), CRU (Boromas), Central (Wairemos), Gulf (Saukuru) and NCD (Dagwalas), to get to the ultimate Cup final.

Hammerheads Coach Joe Toilip said though they lost one game during the round Robin pool matches, he commended his boys for their great attitude and discipline to make it to the finals.

The competition was initially set to kick off last Saturday but the late arrival of teams’ uniforms and change in airline travel schedules forced the extra week’s delay.

After the slight delay to start of competition, it’s game on for the KPH Super 7s Series for the next 4 weeks kicking off with round (1). Saturday 7^th, saw the first two rounds. Competition continues today Sunday 8^th, and continues for the next three weekends until 29^th of May.
