The NCD Executive Touch Footy competition is CEO-friendly as they will be played in a comfortable pace, Maino said.

The competition is run by an interim committee headed by Kiddie .
Ravu, who is also POMRFL president, said the security both within the ground and outside are guaranteed. He urged everyone to turn up for the Tuesday games.
