In this episode:
Remington Raskals have taken the grandfinal trophy with a nine five victory against team ANZ in the cup grandfinal of the slow pitch softball competition held at the Bisini Diamonds.
Remington led by pitcher, William Pupun, proved too strong in the carving out a hard fought win.
Leading one nil by the end of the first innings, Remington were rolling with confidence with their field cover and placed ANZ under pressure when big hitter Dimitrius Wosley hit a home run to put them back on level terms.
While ANZ were boosted by the spark in batting, Remington’s in-field cover was stepping up and they were able to halt ANZs runners.
Momase FC in the Port Moresby Soccer Association’s Super League division beat Blue Kumuls two goals to one, in an end-to-end encounter at the Bisini park in Port Moresby.

The match started off slowly with Momase holding the ball early in their own half, hoping to draw out the Blue Kumul defence.
