PNG's Lae City dwellers in competition mode

Papua New Guinea's Lae City Dwellers are in competition mode after ending two friendly matches on high in Fiji .

Their first match last Friday saw the NSL giants bag a confidence boosting 3-2 win over Suva FC and went ahead to defeat the Fijian National team 4-3 on Monday in their second friendly.
They left for New Zealand yesterday with high spirits in the camp after the two wins and coach Peter Gunemba was all delighted to have pencilled in the matches that steered them into competition mode ahead of their OFC Champions League campaign.

“It’s important to have games against high-level players and teams leading up to any tournament,” he says. “To play against competitive teams such as Fiji national team and Suva FC can only help boost our preparations.”

Gunemba feels confident his charges are capable of causing upsets in the OFC campaign.
“Taking that further step to a new level is the objective for Lae City Dwellers, with that the boys have shown so much positive tranformation and many improvements. I have faith in my boys and I believe they will deliver and make PNG proud.” says Gunemba.

Dwellers are in group C with Malampa Revivors of Vanuatu, Western United of Solomon Island and Auckland City of New Zealand.
Dwellers will face Malampa Revivors on Saturday, March 11. PNGFM/PNG Today
