Minape Kundus to be showcased
THE cream of Lae second SP Cup team for next year, Minape Kundus,
will be on display when the final of the Suburb of Origin series
kicks off at James Khay Oval this weekend.
The Minape Blues will take on Minape Maroons in what could be an
exciting series for the hidden talents from all suburbs of Lae
City.
Following the finals, a 40 men training squad will be selected and
undergo training in preparation for the 2008 SP Cup competition.
According to major sponsor Mathew Minape, the players will be on
special allowance and training provided by coach and him as
sponsor.
Minape said that Lae as one of the biggest leagues in the country
is fielding one team, LBC Bombers, but many talented and potential
players who could make big time football were left out because of
only one team.
Minape said that as such he initiated the Suburbs of Origin series
to allow talented players to display whether they can make the
Minape Kundu team or not.
The final will be kicked off by Morobe Governor Luther Wenge who
is a great support of the concept and he is expected to make some
major announcement during the finals.
Minape said the pre- and post-match entertainment would be
provided by Augustine Blaze Emil which should draw a good crowd at
James Kay Oval.
The series have proved to be successful and have indicated that
there is need for a second team from Lae City.
Minape Blues five-eighth Willie Kada and halfback Willie Joseph
will repeat the same performance in the second Origin clash. Both
players were crucial in bringing about this Sunday’s decider.
