The round 6 of the Inter-Continental Cup fixture between the PNG Barramundis and Scotland came to a draw on Day 4 yesterday.

The PNG Games closing ceremony will coincide with the 2018 Commonwealth Games Queen’s baton relay here in Papua New Guinea.

PNG Games host province, West New Britain has been named by the PNG Olympics Committee to relay the baton.

The baton will transit through Port Moresby on December 1st and arrives at Hoskins Airport later the same afternoon.

It will then return to Port Moresby on December 4th where a reception will be hosted at the Governor General’s Residence.

The Baton will then depart for the Solomon Islands on December 5th, where the relay will continue until it enters Australia via Brisbane on Christmas Eve.

The 100-days relay in Australia will start on January 25th.

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.
