Pirates on the loose
14B Pirates sounded a warning to
other teams after upsetting competition leaders Kamkumung Crushers
16- 10 in A grade encounter in Lae Rugby Football League on
Sunday.
The win has restored some lost prides after performing
inconsistently in their last outings.
In other matches, Lae Biscuit Spiders edged out reigning premiers
Lee Supplies Brothers 16-14, Lae Panthers beat 13A Milo Nestle
Bulldogs 8-6 and Royals beat Magani 8-6.
In the reserve grade encounters, Brothers beat Spiders 12-10 while
other games scheduled for the weekend were deferred to this week
days due to timing factor.
Lae league executives Martin Surab and David Atua said teams were
more disciplined now and playing better football, adding that this
meant that Lae league could be heading to better things ahead.
They said that with the introduction of junior schoolboys league,
many boys were keen to take the ownership of the competition and
play with styles.
“Schoolboys league is progressing well in Lae. We have school
children playing at their age group and every time during the SP
Cup match we allow one match like U11 to play as curtain raiser.
“The format is okay and we expect to see a lot of improved
performance and other developments”, the officials added.
