Bumper season for Pom soccer
PORT Moresby Soccer Association is expected a bumper season with
massive interest when it kicks off its season proper this weekend.
With an increase of number of teams, PMSA has created a four
division to cater for the number of teams.
President of PMSA Fabian Chow said the fourth division is created
and also an extra Under 21 division and also another extra women's
division
These divisions were created to cater for the 23 included in this
year's competition.
Chow said the competition will be expanded from last year's 96
teams in nine divisions to 117 teams in 12 divisions. PMSA
referees and fields will be stretched to the limit to cope with
the demands.
Among new teams are Idubu Sterling, Visigo FC, POM Tech, Kumusi, A
Natuna, Kaijuyawa, Musa, PNG Fire Service, PNG Education
Institute, Kera Ambais, Uncle Kugas Hard Rocks, Junior Kay, ATN
Skyhawks, Iarowari High School and Tarangau.
"The level of interest is sky high this year. We saw the build-up
during the pre-season plus a massive crowd presence for the
Charity Cup during the Easter break. People are enjoying their
soccer and enjoying especially the combat of tough teams
displaying their footwork skills," he said.
"Existing teams are seeing that it is all about having a tough
local competition. Strong competition is what its all about.
Nothing is as satisfying as beating strong opposition on ht field
of battle."
