Before the match started the venue attendants had to find vacant seats to seat ticket holders who were still outside the playing venue.
The match was played in front of a packed arena and PNG did not disappoint the home fans, sprinting to an early lead 20-4 by the end of the first quarter.
PNG goal shooter Taita Baldwin used her height and size effectively as she led the scoring onslaught moving the host nation to 40-10 at half time.
The half time siren was a sound of help for the Solomon Islanders, giving time to regroup for the second part of the match.
