The Port Moresby Softball Men’s team making their first appearance at such international tournament were up against some of the tough opponents from within the region including Australia, New Zealand, Japan and host Indonesia, only to fall short of making the finals.

However, the Moresby boys did not die wondering and were competitive throughout making their opponents work extra hard to score runs. Even displayed tight fielding to restrict runners.

A squad of 11 players and team officials left the country on Sunday to participate in the annual international Softball championships. The competition will feature high-ranking softball-playing nations like the Philippines, Japan, Australia and New Zealand.
