Sports

THE Motu-Koita Lagatois have reset their Digicel Cup bid for 2022 after their initial bid for this year was unsuccessful.
Franchise manager Arthur Patrick told The National yesterday that the Lagatois board had a meeting with the Papua New Guinea Rugby Football League (PNGRFL) last month after their bid was rejected.
Patrick said PNGRFL pointed out some of the requirements that the Lagatois had missed in the 2021 bid.
He said the Lagatois would be ready next year.
“We will use this year to rectify those areas,” Patrick said.
“I believe it’s good for the team as well. It will give us more time to be more than prepared before the season starts next year.
“This year, we were ready but there were some things that we never looked at so we are satisfied with PNGRFL’s decision.
“We will be better in 2022.”
Patrick said they had advised their players to maintain their form while playing in the local leagues.
