The cup was carried onto the field by two Air Niugini pilots, First Officers Ponrilei Posanau and Bernice Watinga, accompanied by the lovely cabin crew- all in uniform. The pilots handed over the cup to Air Niugini Managing Director, Alan Milne who later passed it to Chairman of PNG Rugby Football League, Sandis Tsaka.
Mr Milne said the Air Niugini Kokoda Cup continues to honour the importance of Kokoda, the courage, endurance, mateship and sacrifice made by Australian soldiers and Papua New Guinean carriers during world war two.
