With only three (3) weeks of matches left in the Eastern Papua Cup (EPC) tournament, week two (2) of the competitions ran smoothly this weekend as the ladies played their best to secure spots on the ladder.
In the women’s division pool-1, Bomatu FC beat Kula FC 1-0 in a close contest and FC Mix Tribe closed off another game with a win against Galea on Saturday 23rd November 2024.
Bomatu FC came off to a good start and had more ball possessions but were fended off in many goal attempts after strong defence plays from Kula FC blocking their attempts.
Both halves of the match saw no promise for the teams to secure any points in the game but after a silly foul was flagged by the referee in the last minutes of the second half, Bomatu took the advantage and secured their first win of the season through a penalty shot.
Meanwhile, reigning champions FC Mix Tribe came out victorious again after taking down Galea 2-0.
Despite the burning sun, both teams played their best. Galea FC put up a good fight by only allowing FC Mix Tribe to score two goals in each of the halves.
After round one of the competitions, the women’s pool-1 progressive ladder is as follows:
1-FC Mix Tribe
2-Galea
3-Kasamadagi
4-Bomatu
5-Kula
6-28 Plus
