The hotly anticipated Intrust Super Cup preliminary final between Ipswich and the PNG Hunters played out on Sunday afternoon at Wynnum with both sides looking to make the Grand Final against the Blackhawks this Sunday.
Ipswich got the better of the team that have beaten them twice throughout he season and deserved the win and Grand Final appearance.
For the Gurgler’s sporting team of the year, the PNG Hunters it will be hard to take to finish second and go out with two consecutive losses, but they will come back next year even more determined to go all the way. And another big game for Willie Minoga might just attract some interest from the NRL. For his sake we hope, for our sake we hope to see him play for PNG next season.
Perhaps all PNG Hunters fans can start the fund raising now to cover the $205,000 to broadcast a final in PNG next year since no one could find the money to do so this time. Despite full houses at Origin time, and such.
