The Hohola off Season round of matches is currently underway in the city of Port Moresby with matches held each week at the famous Ipi Park. The Hohola Rugby League (HRL) Coordinator, Mr. Omega Nari stressed that the HRL Committee is committed to stay focused on the games to keep the youths busy, especially following the recent unrest in the capital city. “It’s important we keep our youths occupied during this time, this is the time we can actually contribute to bringing back normalcy to our community,” said the Coordinator. Meanwhile, Round 7 clashes in the A-grade and B-grade is getting more intense as teams find their rhythm and putting up strong challenges after studying their opponents game plays in previous matches. But Mr. Nari admitted that players are becoming more aggressive and absent minded of rugby league rules as the matches progressed, which he said was unacceptable and fines are being used accordingly as penalty for the violations during weekend games. “We maintain these relationships with players to minimize tense or violence situations during games and we charge players who violate the rules of rugby.” Mr. Nari also said that it would be nice to have some sponsors on board to support the competition. “We ask private and government establishments who seek to sponsor our finals to please reach out and we can work together for our youths all around Port Moresby.” The Hohola off Season hosts 7 games on the weekends and 12 games on weekdays.
