Moni Plus Port Moresby AFL

The ten clubs confirmed to contest for the premiership Cup are West Eagles, Concept Koboni, Lamana Dockers, Cats, Gordon Kokofas, Gereka Bombers, Alavana Swans, Waigani (University) Tigers, Pom-Tech Port Powers and Gerehu Magpies.

Each of club will have teams in the seniors and the reserve grades in the men’s division while Koboni, Kokofas, Dockers and West Eagles will have women’s teams as well.

The Tigers, Kokofas and Magpies are re-entering the competition after staying out of contention for the past three seasons due to COVID-19 restrictions.

This will be followed by the finals in the afternoon to decide the winners in both the men’s and women’s divisions.

The deciding round begins at 10am with pace setters Bismarck Maritime West Eagles and Cats locking horns to determine the outright leadership in the men’s division.

Both teams went through undefeated in last week’s round-robin matches and are equally on 8 points apiece.

The winner of this match books the first placing for the finals in the afternoon.

POM AFL President, Douglas Lai said although the games kicked-off late today, all games ended perfectly with the finals set for tomorrow.

Lai said the Easter Cup is a new concept set out for POMAFL and AFL throughout the country and is being trialed for the first day. He said it is working out well with good interest from men young boys and girls.

In the main drawcard on Saturday traditional arch rivals Bismarck Maritime West Eagles will face off with traditional rivals Concept Koboni in the Round 4 main match.

The rivalry between the two teams goes back a long way to the 1980’s and 1990’s when they dominated the Port Moresby AFL chart to constantly meet in the grand finals and trade premiership titles. The two teams are still the toughest in the competition in the modern football era and this weekend will be no difference.
