Rain mars Moresby soccer semi finals
By HENRY MORABANG
PORT Moresby Soccer Association has deferred all its semi finals,
set for yesterday, to next week due to heavy rain on Saturday
night.
PMSA secretary Frank Kauri said yesterday that all the games were
abandoned due to muddy condition at Bisini Soccer Oval and also
for the safety of the players.
Two of the best games on Saturday were between PS Roots and newly
promoted premier team B-Mobile and University and Rapatona.
The University versus Rapatona encounter was the clash of buddies.
University had the upper hand winning the match 3-1.
Both fielded their best players to see who will win the starting
team during the season proper.
University under John Davani had Gary Moka, Ben Lakasa, Desmond
Waku, Steven Mali, Eric Willie and new buy Vincent Michael from
Souths, Peter Kareva and Misty Andrew.
Rapatona on the other hand has Chique Posman, Richard Sios, Rick
Mesak, Koloi Kaluwin, John Baulo and Souths import Lawrence Diau.
University scored the first goal through Gary Moka who outjumped
Rapatona new goalkeeper Chokal Polume to head the ball into the
net and the second goal came from a Vincent Michael header from
Steven Mali's corner kick.
They led 2-0 before Chique Posman pulled on back through free-kick
and then University scored the last goal to win 3-1.
Another good game was between PS Roots and B-Mobile when William
Yurus junior collected the double to beat B-Mobile.
B-Mobile were first to score but Yurus equalised to take the game
into extra time. About 67 seconds before the final half, Yurus
collected his second goal to put Roots into the semi finals.
Kauri said all the winners will advance into the semi final which
will be played on Saturday morning before the finals in the
afternoon.
