The Bintangor Lahanis have finally made the Bemobile Cup grand final in as many years, after narrowly beating defending premiers Agmark Gurias 12-6. They will now take on SBS Mendi Muruks in the final Showdown in Lae. Unfortunately for Port Moresby fans, the Grand Final has now been decided to be played in the Morobean capital, the last played there was in 1997 between Mt. Hagen Eagles and Lae

The SBS Muruks defeated defending champions, Agmark Gurias 18-6 to book the first grand final spot. In the other sudden death decider, Bintangor Lahanis edged out Toyota Enga Mioks 14-8. Lahanis will now take on Gurias where the winner will advance to take on the Muruks in the Grand Final. One interesting question I have in mind is if the rep players selected for the four nations will be

It's good that the Vipers Board and Management decided to reduce the gate fee for Grand stand Entry at PRL from K50 to K30 for this weekends match up against a resurgent Kongo Coffee Warriors.

I wonder if the highly-decorated Masta Mark City Rangers boasting a majority of Kumuls and high profile players will be making the finals in this years Bemobile Cup. I’ve watched their first game against the Vipers and the one against Gurias yesterday, and I must say that there has never been a well executed structure in their game. It' is more of an individual effort and brilliance. Their halves

The Stop N Shop Port Moresby Vipers this afternoon ran riot over a star-studded Masta Mak Rangers with a whopping 48-20 scoreline. In the other matches, SBS Muruks ousted ACTL Lae Bombers in Lae 36-16, while the Agmark Gurias have maintained their Kalabond oval hoodoo with a 28-20 thrashing of Bintangor Lahanis.

It is very unbecoming to see two senior players in one of the bemobilecup teams leaving the Camp to go out clubing last Friday night, just a day away from their game on Sunday. I was out at the Junction Night Club with some mates. We were at the Members area looking out to other patrons and to my surprise, there were these two players (name withheld) among the crowd. Since, my friend is a member

By Standford Mul - Madang CorrespondentThe battle of the Bingtagor franchises went down to the wire with the Bingtagor sponsored team from Goroka downing their brother team, Bingtagor Mt Hagen Eagles 8-4. The game started with heavy exchange of big tackles and hard running from both teams. As the game went on Bingtagor Mt Hagen Eagles upped their tempo and made inroads in the Lahanis defence

Gurias and Vipers Round Up The Vipers had it all leading 22-20 with seconds remaing before fulltime but Gurias were well too determined to fight till the final hooter and that paid off, courtesy of a try to Captain and Man of the Match George Moni that sealed the match 24-22. The game was a thriller and entertaining unlike the past two weekends where there were instances of riot and violence.

You may have noticed that I haven't posted updates for last weekend's games. I wasn't so keen on reporting after violence erupted from the match between the Rangers and Vipers.I go to the games regularly, paying my own way in to provide updates to this blog but what I witnessed last weekend was totally disheartening. It was very shameful for certain vipers players and officials to instigate the

By Concerned Ave Whilst the bemobile Cup matches are tough and indicative of the professional standard we want to establish, obviously attitudes will have to change as well, if last Sunday's violent ending to matches in Lae, Port Moresby and Wabag are any indication. We all know, the man in the middle who wields the whistle is the law and his decisions are final. Years of playing the game would

By Whiteline Madness via emailSyl, mate apologies for not posting. I've been at the games but my web at home has been struggling - thank goodness for the Telikom EVDO. Can I just make a comment first on the recent Mioks/Vipers game on Sunday. I would think that both coaches would have the proffessionalism and respect the game enough to remove the outright thuggery that was evident in the game.

Chris Enara of the Vipers - Was it me or did he rotate his halves and hookers 20 times in that game. The game was sluggish enough for the players but when you're rotating your pivots around like that how can you get some command in the game. He has got to get his bench system worked out. Poor Brendan Lulubo looked likely late in the second half but looked down the right line and he had 3 of

The Mast Mark City Rangers are the highly paid players in the current bemobile cup competion. It is purported, players are paid K400 per match plus bonuses for top perfomers. When you equate that to a fortnightly wage, it adds to K800 or more. This is more than what many avarage working Papua New Guineans are earning.
