Lahanis Win Again In Madang

By Standford Mul - Madang Correspondent

The battle of the Bingtagor franchises went down to the wire with the Bingtagor sponsored team from Goroka downing their brother team, Bingtagor Mt Hagen Eagles 8-4.

The game started with heavy exchange of big tackles and hard running from both teams. As the game went on Bingtagor Mt Hagen Eagles upped their tempo and made inroads in the Lahanis defence however, poor ball handling and some dubious calls by the referee cost them the game scoring only one try from more than four line breaks.

The Bingtagor Goroka Lahanis came back firing in the second half but couldn’t break the Eagles defence. It was only in the dying stages of the game after gaining consecutive penalties from Bingtagor Mt Hagen Eagle’s infringements were they able to score.

It was only fitting that local boy and Lahanis blockbusting second rower Siegfried Gande scoring the winning try with minutes left on the clock.
