Bombers continue losing streak

By Jonah Ahokare - Lae Correspondent

The Rabaul Gurias were too good beating the Bombers in front of a huge home crowd.
The boys from the East New Britain proved they are the hottest contestant vying for the Bemobile Cup this year thrashing the Bombers 12 points to 6.
Gurias were the first to put 4 points on the score board courtesy of a try from centre, Albert Patak on the eastern end of the grounds. Conversion by Rolly Matalau was unsuccessful.
About 12 minutes before half-time, the bombers were awarded a penalty after a high tackle call
against the Gurias. Young gun Mark Mexico added the much needed two points to seal the score 6 points to 2 in favour of the Gurias at half-time.
Twelve minutes into second half, the man from Balimo, Ricky Sibiya crashed into the try line to score under the uprights for the visitors. Half-back Matalau added the extras to set the Gurias in front.
Ten minutes before full time, 2nd year engineering student from Unitech, Sens, barged his way to the try line to score for the bombers.It was a great one-man effort from this younster. The conversion kick by lanky Max Rumanong was unsuccessful leaving the bombers trailing behind with 6 points.
The game was exciting to watch as both teams displayed great ball works and runs. The forward packs for both teams made some very good bone crunching tackles and hitups in the mud-filled turf. Gurias held on to win the match.
