Rugby League World Cup 2017 PNG Trophy Tour

Paul Barrière Trophy continues PNG tour

It has visited villages, schools, offices, sporting fields and public places, and has been seen and touched by people from all walks of life.

It was no different when the Trophy was on Lihir Island and Kavieng town in New Ireland Province last week.

Welcoming the trophy to Zuen Christian Academy, former junior Kumul, July Totsik, said bringing the Paul Barriere Trophy will certainly inspire future rugby league stars in PNG.

Totsik said sports is one thing that can unite a nation and keep youths away from trouble, sentiments echoed by many on the tour so far.
