Melanesian Challenge

It was a hat trick to centre Edward Goma in the second half that set up a comprehensive win for the home side.

Goma scored early in the second half and  again in the 54th minute to put the score out to 26-2 after Jason Missian missed the conversion.

Missian himself went in 10 minutes later after quick hands gave him space to dive over on the wing.

Konie Bernard added more points through a barnstorming run to get himself over the line.

The Roosters had the first opportunity to register points in the fourth minute of play but Kolinio Radrovi was unable to convert the penalty goal.

Minutes later it was the Gurias who made the most of an opportunity through Pidi Tongap who barged through the Roosters defence to score first points.

Jason Missian added the extras for the Gurias to take a 6-0 lead after 11 minutes of play.
