The Port Moresby Moni Plus AFL season in 2023 saw a couple of issues that popped up during the season especially towards the end of the competitions, but this has not been the case for this season so far since its commencement in early April. The President of the Port Moresby AFL Association (POM AFL) , Mr. Douglas Lai told PNG HAUSBUNG that so far, the competitions have been running smoothly with the men’s and women’s competition in play as they look forward to the Regional Championships coming up later this year. “The women’s competition will head into the finals this weekend following a successful normal season while the men’s still have about six to seven more weekends to go before their finals,” said the president. However, he said POM AFL is considering hosting the Regional Championships for the Southern Region, which should include a couple of clubs from the Central province to participate, towards the end of the month or the next month. He said there have been some delays on the part of the Papua New Guinea AFL Commission on the timings to stage the Regional Championships, so the Association decided to go ahead and stage their event, but the actual dates will be confirmed later by POM AFL pending approval from the Commission. But first things first, Mr. Lai said the focus here now is to close off the women’s competition first and from there, look at moving on to the hosting of the Regional Championships for the Southern Region, which will take place in the city of Port Moresby with all matches to be played out at the Colts Oval.
