After a long 22 years of waiting, the Enga Mioks will carry home the cup as the premiers of the 2023 Digicel ExxonMobil Cup after displaying a spectacular performance and defeating the Goroka Lahanis in this afternoon’s grand final showdown. Both teams rivalled it out under the steaming afternoon heat in front of a packed house at the Santos National Football Stadium in Port Moresby city. The first half seemed pretty tough with both side’s defence strong at play, but after their first attempt with only 6mins into the first half, coming from behind and going in with an extra 6 tackles, the Lahanis made use of that and touched down with Amos Kafare locking in the first try of the match. Mioks retaliated with Kevin Yoko putting them up on the score board with two consecutive tries, and a penalty kick at siren saw the Mioks lead at first half 16-6. Coming back at second half, both teams showed strong defence but the Mioks held their defence strong and saw 2 tries by Mioks’ Francis Sam and Garry James, taking the team home at full time with a 26-6 victory.
