they are favoured to†upstage the grizzlies.
In the other matches tomorrow, Gazelle should beat Samurai and a
close tussle should be expected between Bullets and Malangan.
In the Sunday matches Manolos should have an easy run against
Dolphins, while Eagles should expect some fire works from
unpredictable Kopex.
After round one results PNG Power, SPIA Manaolos, Airways Bears,
Malangan and Bullets share the points ladder on two points each
after winning their respective matches.
Kopex, LBC Gazelle, Dolphins, Samurai and Brown Eagles have yet

new executives to run Port Moresby men’s softball association.
It will also enable the delegates to elect members to the
sponsorship and fundraising committee, the disciplinary
committee and the grounds committee.
