SPORTS store PNG Nambawan Trophy, yesterday donated K10,000 worth of new sporting equipments to the NCD Volleyball Association in Port Moresby.

It was established in 1992 with five clubs.
“Since the beginning, the association never had an official sponsor.

The competition has produced some great players of yesteryears such as John Kombeng, Vali Alu, Unatah, Jack Dick, Terry Kupa and currently, Ula Gima, Richard Kila, Vela Ralewa, George David, Boniface Irisia, Genamo Kila, Mariana Haoda and Patricia Gima.
Richard Kila and Moha Opa also represented PNG in beach volleyball and came second to Australia in the Olympic qualifiers.
