Commonwealth Games Baton Relay Expected this Friday

It has to be one of the worst publicised events but it we've been reliably informed that there will be a baton relay of former and current Commonwealth Games athletes carrying the official games baton through the streets of Port Moresby.

Still no official notice in the press but the baton will arrive tomorrow evening and spend only one day (Friday) in PNG before it moves on to other Pacific Islands nations of the Commonwealth and then on to Asia.  We understand the baton is currently in Australia and we mark the head of the baton's Pacific Islands tour before it ends up in Delhi, India.

Four of our netballers will form part of the relay which we understand will start at Independence Hill.

If your not doing much on Friday and you'd like to watch the relay of some of PNG's elite athletes, then come out on Friday to show your support.
