Provincial administrator William Powi and Port Moresby-based lawyer Felix Kange contributed K1,000 each.
Kange also provided trophies and prizes for the presentation at Pangia station.
Titipu while pledging support said that the local league over time had nurtured and produced Kumuls but needed players, officials and the supporters to change their attitude to see further success and to enjoy in the growth of the sport in Pangia and the Southern Highlands.
“Rugby league and sports in general is a healthy and constructive activity and I am happy to contribute and to help make a difference in young people’s lives in a little way by supporting sports in Pangia and in the province,” Titipu said.
An elated Pangia rugby league president Jack Kipoi thanked the three for their support on behalf of his executives, players and the people of the district.
