PNG Champion, Toti City Dwellers left for Vanuatu this morning with high hopes of faring well in their third appearance at the OFC Champions League on Saturday (February 11).

They will kick off their campaign against Cook Islands’ Tupapa Maraerenga in Pool A.

Games to follow will see them taking on Vanuatu’s Nakultan FC and later, Fiji’s Ba FC.

Coach Peter Gunemba said the team will rely on homegrown senior players in skipper Raymond Gunemba, Nigel Dabinyaba, Emmanuel Simon, Jacob Sabua and Ronald Warisan for their campaign.

Having prepared well in the last four rounds of the National Soccer League, the Dwellers are confident.

Dinnierose Raiko graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Communication Arts (Journalism) from Divine Word University in March 2016. She joined EMTV Sports in April 2016 covering Sports news and contributes content to and at times Co-host EMTV’s premier sports talk show ,'Sports Scene'. Her previous experience extends to a year of general news reporting for NBC West New Britain, NBC Madang and stringing for PNGFM just before joining EMTV. Having done courts, business, health, Education rounds before, the prospect of doing Sports stories became a new challenge. One that Dinnierose wanted to test herself with. She is now an all-rounder sports reporter but takes a greater interest in Cricket. Dinnierose has since found her niche and hopes to produce her own Sports Show someday.
