Kavieng rugby union has been running its pre-season competition for the last two weekends and next weekend heads into its seven competition.
Eight teams are set to tussle for the sevens crown this weekend.
In-form teams include Nomads and Royals, who have retained most players from the Buluminski Marlins, semi-finalist at last year’s Black Orchid Sevens in Buka.
The rest of the teams will be out to showcase yet some hidden talents.
Teams taking part are Royals, Nomads, Redskins, Watersides, Plumbers, N4C, Snafu and Putput.
An invitation is still open to intending teams.
After the sevens, it is planned to have a shorter 15’s season.
All teams are set and a planned three-day basic clinic on rules and skills will be run tomorrow (Tuesday, May 4), Wednesday and Thursday by Samson Korong, Mack Lentruth and other key figures in the local rugby fraternity.
Organisers have seen a huge interest among Kavieng youngsters and want to get them all on board.
The next thing is to establish contact with and affiliate with the PNG Rugby Football Union.
Interim committee members running the show are Sergent Silau (Digicel 72844465) and David Lotar (Digicel 71523501).
All teams must attend tomorrow's clinic starting 4pm at the Court House Oval.
A meeting will also be held.
