On perhaps the hottest day on record for this time of the year, the POMNA Grand Final went off without a hitch. Sponsors were well represented with tents set up around the main courts and a constant crowd kept the games well attended even as early as 10:00 in the morning when the first games blew time on.

Emily Taule and Pole Kassman, Presidents of the PNG Netball Federation and Port Moresby Netball Associations respectively, were happy at the outcome both in terms of the quality of netball played, the sportsmanship exhibited by all teams and in the conduct of the crowd. Organisers of the event were happy with the smooth flow of events and the behaviour and cooperation of all in attendance.

This year saw several new teams entering the competition and congratulations should be extended to the likes of Kapunarau who in their first year, had two of its teams make the grand finals. Oro Birdwings also made the grand finals in their first year in the competition and Treasury surprised everyone including themselves at making and winning the Division 2 grand finals in their first year out.

A big thanks for all sponsors large and small for an excellent season of netball.

Well done to all teams that participated this year and congratulations to both winning grand- finalists and losing teams, umpires and officials for making this years grand finals a successful event.
