Team NCD in early prep for PNG Games

EARLY preparations for team NCD to the PNG Grassroots Games in Kokopo next year are progressing well.
NCD Governor Powes Parkop, through the NCD sports council, has initiated the Port Moresby suburban sports to identify local talents and already electorates within the nation’s capital have started their six weeks tournament of various sports.
The venues identified to host the games are Erima (Northeast electorate), Hohola and Gerehu (Northwest electorate), Kaugere (Moresby South), Kilakila (Motu-Koita) with the grand finals on Nov 21 at the Sir John Guise Stadium.
Venues in Hohola and Gerehu are hosting soccer and volleyball matches for both male and female, while Kaugere, Erima  and Pari (Moita-Koita)  are hosting  touch and netball competitions.
Meanwhile, the Hohola suburban volleyball and soccer competitions are nearing the finals.
Games coordinator Sebastin Kae is pleased that a large number of the communities’ youth are involved in this tournament and he thanked Parkop for identifying the need to keep the youths busy and also identifying raw talents to help prepare them for the games.
The elimination finals continues today with the finals to be played between the top teams of Gerehu and Hohola and the winners advance to the grand final that will be played at the SJGS.
