Port Moresby begins comp as squash gathers interest

The Port Moresby Racquets Club (PMRC) begins its annual squash competition this week.
The competition involves 15 teams, with five sides each in grades A, B and C.
PMRC squash director Merlyn Alarcos-Kriebisch told The National that interest from teams had been increasing each year since the competition’s introduction.
A-Grade matches will be played on Thursday nights, B-Grade on Tuesday nights and C-Grade on Wednesday nights.
“Registration is closed but they can come forward for the next season,” Alarcos-Kriebisch said.
“The competition is open for anyone. With the facilities that the Government has provided, there’s a growth in squash and tennis.
“People who used to play before have now come back. “
