MAGPIES AND SKYROOS SET FOR GRAND FINAL REMATCH

The Colts Ground will host a thrilling AFL grandfinal showdown this Saturday.

The defending champion Gerehu Magpies will take on the resurgent Skyroos in the 2026 Port Moresby AFL Women’s Grand Final.

Entering as firm favourites, the Magpies are chasing a historic third straight premiership. Gerehu secured their spot last weekend with a gritty 5.7 (37) to 3.2 (20) preliminary final victory over minor premiers Gereka Bombers.

Vice-captain Marcia Anere expressed strong confidence in her squad, who rely on a rock-solid defense and booming kicks to dominate tight, low-scoring finals.

Standing in their way is a Skyroos side hungry for redemption after falling short in last year’s decider. Having booked a direct route into Saturday’s rematch, the fast-rising challengers are buzzing.

Skipper Isabella Grant noted that camp morale is high and the team has regrouped to go one better this season.

To dethrone the reigning champions, the Skyroos will combine former Lamana Dockers veterans with agile PNG Flames players to break open the midfield. Maintaining relentless intensity across all four quarters will be vital to prevent a late Gerehu surge in this clash of experience versus speed.
