The Mendi side defeated the Wamp Nga Mt Hagen Eagles 34-16.

Five minutes into the match and Richard Mapi scored the Muruks’ opening try to lead 4-0.

Both teams continued testing each other’s limits until 13 minutes into the game and a charged Mt Hagen side responded through fullback, Caleb Lo. With an unsuccessful conversion, the scores were tied at 4-all until the Eagles’ right centre, Benzie Ben, grounded the ball again.

After five minutes of tussle, Ben broke through for his second try of the match.

Only minutes into the opening half when the flamboyant central boys shifted into top gear with speed machine and Man Of the Match Douglas Pirika from an interception deep inside Eagles half, showed a clean pair of heels as he set sail down the right flank before offloading to his centre and Captain Walen Tau Loi to score in the corner untouched.

Eagles on counterattack made an error inside Dabaris half, proved costly when the Baimuru flyer made another clean break on the left flank and raced 80 metres to score.
