The Bintangor Lahanis scored, with just under a minute remaining before fulltime to snatch victory. This game really turned the heat on with both sides equally determined to get the two points on offer.
Muruks were the first to score through former Lahanis hitman, Paulus Mondo, twenty minutes into the first half. The try was successfully converted by Andrew Sam. Lahanis replied with a try to evergreen captain, Glen Nami, who converted to take the score 6-all.
Soon after, Terry Toa crossed for Muruks but Sam failed to convert. Just before half time, Lahanis veteran, Sigfred Gande touched down but the kick was unsuccessful. The score remained 10-all when they went for break.
Muruks collected two points from a penalty, three minutes after play resumed, taking them two points ahead. This was short-lived when former Bombers veteran John Milba crossed for the Lahanis. Walter Hasu managed to add the extras.
Muruks center, Bobby Yakopa crashed at the eastern end of the tryline to earn the much needed 4 points but Sam again failed to pot the goal kick leaving the score 16-all before the men from Nokondi land sealing the match in the dying minute, courtesy of a try to their little general, Bafinu Illa which was successfully converted.
