PORA Eels will make their first grand final appearance in 19 years when they face Isitora Broncos in the Chris Haiveta Cup decider in Kerema, Gulf, on Sunday.
Siouposa Rugby League president Joe Wakiva said it was a special moment for the Eels after a difficult season amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
“It’s not easy for a team that have never reached a grand final in a long time,” he said of the Eels.
“If they win this weekend, it will be a historic moment for east Kerema and Siouposa.
“The Broncos have faced their share of frustration and joy in the finals.
“So this will be another test of character for them.
“I wish nothing but the best for both teams and may the best side win.”
Wakiva said players competing in the women’s, Under-20 and men’s grand finals would get a chance to showcase their skills in front of Gulf Governor Haiveta, and members of the Papua New Guinea Rugby Football League and PNG Sports Foundation.
