Hohola Off-Season Rugby League (HoRL) President Mr. Kambi Ingiman remains determined to finish the 2024 Hohola Rugby League off Season on a high note, despite the challenges of limited resources, high number of teams and unpredictable weather. HoRL Committee recently hosted a meeting that clearly identified the appropriate actions and decisions to settle the team’s management complaints and queries. According to common arguments from team staff and management, this year’s off-season holds the highest number of teams to participate in the HRL Off-Season, therefore reduces the weekend rounds. Team Management feel the time is limited to play for an appropriate placing in the Top 16 Finals. The HoRL Committee finally concluded under an agreement with Team’s Management to extend the games with Top 16 teams from Pool A and B to play head to head, with the winning eight remain on by while the losing teams play against the bottom 8 (points) only to play for the top spots. The season has taken quite a pause due to the continuous heavy rains that has caused small expanding pools and puddles in the Hohola Ipi Park rugby field. Also raising concerns from teams and supporters on the season being delayed or stopped. However HoRL President Mr. Ingiman told PNG HAUSBUNG that the HRL Committee remains confident and is determined to finish the season strong this year despite the challenges endured, as it motivates the drive to complete the season successfully. Mr. Ingiman stressed the additional tournament of the Clash of the Wards Origin game Finals is expected to commence in the next two weeks and has planned to utilize this event as a platform to assist the young rugby men and women potentials to have the spotlight for the chance to be recruitment by local rugby club franchises. “This tournament could expose individuals to advance themselves to a new level in rugby and not remain in the same level, but the decision rests with them." "We plan to push forward the potentials willing to grab this opportunity and play in the big leagues,” said Mr. Ingiman. Mr. Ingiman said despite the challenges he remains grateful for the opportunity and responsibility as the President of the HoRL committee and appreciates the many support from officials, team management, especially to the Hohola Youth Empowerment Development Association (HYEDA) and the National Capital District (NCD) Governor Powes Parkop for the continuous support. Mr. Ingiman expressed humbly to the teams, management and supporters; “Be committed to your goal, be patient and respect the process.
