Although they are not in the current MoniPlus Port Moresby Australia Football League (AFL) pre-season challenge, the Alavana Swans from Hula village in Central province are building up their teams in preparation for their first ever season in the city competition. The Head Coach of the Swans Mr. Paul Dickson said they are fine tuning the boys and girls with trainings and team preparations before they kick off the proper season in a week’s time. “Last year we played three games in Port Moresby and the boys are familiar with the competition and how it goes, so this year we should be good to go with the season,” said the coach. Coach Dickson also clarified that the club for now will be hosting matches in the Hula village and which clubs that will be on the draw to challenge them, will travel to Hula to play against the Swans in the various divisions. The Swans is one of two newest clubs joining the city competition this year. The other club is Port Power which is currently playing in the pre-season games. Meanwhile, the Swans will go all out by putting in two men’s teams, one for the A grade and the other for the Reserve grade, and a women’s team as well for the female division.
