AFL making impact in Gulf province
By HENRY MORABANG
The Australia
Football League is picking up in Gulf province with the new
support from Hearo Alex Trading in Kerema town recently.
AFL-Gulf coordinator Peter Magaea who fronted the office with
the t’shirt sponsored by Alex Trading stated that many people
are coming forward to support the Australia number one sport.
Under the sponsorship agreement, Alex Trading has provided and
printed 30 T-shirts for the AFL-Gulf squad for the regional
championship.
He said Alex Trading said they would assist AFL next year with
transport and accommodation for the regional championship
especially in Port Moresby.
“I am very happy with the commitment made by Alex Trading which
clearly shows that the interest is coming from all corners such
as Kikori, Malalaua and Kaintiba areas of Gulf province,” he
said.
Magaea said he was also impressed with support given by new
Governor Havila Kavo
He said he made the same commitment that former Governor made
which showed that the political heads of the province are behind
the sports apart from rugby league and basketball.
Kavo’s focus was human resource development and AFL was the
right sports to support as it as a good pathway programs leading
towards representative football and chances of winning big time
contracts overseas in Cairns, Gold Coast or even in the heart of
Brisbane, Australia.
