Thirdly, I want to acknowledge the contributions of our never-ending retiring player and Captain Raymond Gunemba (R7 Gunman) for your leadership which I saw in the first match and knew that you will take our Team right through the Semis and through to the Grand final and bring the MSG Cup to PNG for the first time like our Women’s National Team that did in Fiji.
Our Team, we can create another history that can be written down as the 2022 MSG Cup Men’s Champion.
Fourthly, I want to acknowledge all our Men’s Team that was made up of both the young and old and you all have blended together very well in your contributions on the field.
