Earlier this month the Pepe's had been keeping moderately busy with light training as well as being involved in activities to keep their minds sharp. In the first week of February the Pepe's accepted an invitation to participate in the Battle of the Codes Womens Super 8 Cricket series and in a show of finesse and power, the ladies made it all the way through to the Grand final.
Only the batting capabilities of women's cricketer Boni David wrestled the title away from the Pepes with one wicket in hand and a ball to spare. Pepe's Lua Rikis won the grand final "woman of the match" with a gutsy batting performance.
The event was a fund raiser for the PNG Womens Cricket Team World Cup Qualifiers and a huge success. Perhaps netball should be thinking of a similar scheme to attract potential sponsors to the game.
Well done girls.
