The PNG Pepes have their insurance covered for the Regional World Cup Qualifiers in New Zealand thanks to Tower Insurance PNG. Chair of Netball PNG, Ms Julienne Leka, said the sponsorship is very timely and they are thankful for the generosity of Tower Insurance towards the PNG Pepes.
“It has been a challenge over the last couple of months trying to secure funding for the team; and so such support by Tower Insurance gives our team hope and confidence to persevere in their quest to qualify at this regional event.”
“We are pleased to be involved with the leading female participating sport in PNG. In particular, we wish to support the growth and development of Netball in PNG through our support for the PNG Pepes. This sponsorship reflects Tower’s longstanding commitment to PNG and the Pacific,” said Tower Insurance PNG representative.
The PNG Pepes are ranked second in the Oceania region and 17th in world ranking. The team departs PNG on 13th April and will undertake a few lead-up matches in Australia and New Zealand before the competition starts on 17th April 2018. Countries participating in this event include Fiji, Samoa, Cook Islands, Tonga and PNG.
