Heated affairs set for Madang

FOOTBALL fans in Madang will flock to the Laiwaden Oval to watch some exciting A-League football challenges this weekend.
The clash of the round on Sunday will see the men from PHD Compound, Mimlon, taking on Mamose in what would be a heated affair.
Mimlon, under coach Amos “Rossi” Romo, will be counting on Ray and Chester Romo to lead them up-front, while golden glove winner, Garsun Bangan, will be the last line of defence at the goal-mouth.
Mamose, on the other hand, are an unknown quantity and are expected to spring surprises on Romo’s unsuspecting men.
Kicking off at the same time on field 1, the Steven Inia-led Nabasa should provide a thrilling match when they go head-to-head with the rejuvenated Yabong Blues outfit.
