Minor Premiers

The Vipers went through the season undefeated with only one draw against Moresby South Blacks and were declared minor premiers before the season went into recess for the Christmas/New year.

The Port Moresby Vipers Academy and Development squad was initially put together 22 weeks prior to competition started in October. The team is predominantly secondary and tertiary students who have passion for the game and common interest to pursue their rugby league dreams.

Former PNGNRLC Chairman and current PNGRFL Director Sudhir Guru presented the inaugural Don Fox Memorial Minor Premiership shield to Lae Snax Tigers captain Enoch Sine during the elimination finals in Port Moresby yesterday. 

Tigers headed the ladder after round 11 last weekend on a superior points difference over PRK Mendi Muruks and JPG Waghi Tumbes.    

Janet Fox, widow of late Fox said the naming of the Digicel Cup Minor Premiership Shield after her late husband was a kind and beautiful gesture and a great honour to his memory.
