Outgoing president Howard Lahari said the sport had come a long way in Port Moresby because of the hardworking committee with more than 300 players that competed in the tournament this year.
One of the highlights of the year was the Oceania tournament held in Port Moresby that attracted players from PNG to display the best of their abilities and capabilities against professionals from around the region.

Port Moresby and PNGBSA secretary Roger Wilson said “the Oceania competition proved to be the best-ever.
