I know the first one is in port moresby, but where are the other two locations?

Lloyd Robson at Boroko, named after their original groundsman, has been the home of Port Moresby (formerly the Papuan) Rugby League since they moved from the old triangle at Konedobu between the Aviat and the Yacht Club in the mid-sixties.

The triangle was then developed into the Sir Hubert Murray Stadium for the 1969 South Pacific Games and became the home of not much except touch, union, soccer and local Hanuabada league games. The Sir John Guise Stadium was built with Chinese money prior to the 1991 South Pacific Games on land near parliament house at Waigani where soccer then moved to and the offices of the PNG Sports Federation.

Lloyd Robson Oval has had to battle for survival financially since the old school expatriate clique that ran it successfully for nearly 40 years including Dr. (Sir) Jim Jacobi and Bruce Flynn (SP Brewery), all moved on.

PNG Hunters to trial stadium


THE Papua New Guinea Hunters will provide the perfect test of the Sir John Guise Stadium on June 7 when they host the Ipswich Jets in their Round 13 fixture.

With the Pacific Games venues set to be handed over by the builders to the Games Organising Committee on May 31, the window for the testing of venues will be tight.

The match, according to the SP Hunters management, is being organised to help the Games organisers and to introduce the Hunters to Port Moresby fans for the first time.

The game will see the eventual the relocation of the club to the capital city from their base at the Kalabond Oval in Kokopo, East New Britain.

The Sir John Guise Stadium is expected to have a capacity of 15,000 people and the Hunters are confident the Q-Cup fixture will attract league fans as well as those who want to see the venue before the Games opening ceremony on July 4.

The tests will look at seating, amenities, lighting, power, sound, communication, broadcasting, ticketing, parking, transport, safety, security and other all aspects involved in hosting a multi-competition event like the regional Games.
