Cricket PNG proud to win award

The Girls Empowerment Through (GET) Cricket program from Cricket PNG finished ahead of Hoops for Health (basketball) and League Bilong Laif (rugby league).

“Taking away the 2017 Community Sports Initiative award is a significant achievement for the Girls Empowerment Through Cricket program,” said Komang.

“This shows that the program has had social impact on the lives of our participants and also ripple effects to the wider community.

Pacific women sports leaders strengthen skills and networks

The program has seen 20 women representing 12 different sporting organisations and six Pacific Island nations, come together in Port Moresby.

Susan Komang from Cricket PNG said the program has helped her “to learn something new about myself and to better my leadership skills and also meet other women like me in the Pacific who are administrators and managers coming from the Pacific.”

“For Me, the highlight was getting to meet all of these people and creating a network in the relationship with each other and build it.”
