Former Fijian netball coach Unaisi Rokoura is doing wonders with the Papua New Guinea national side.

The PNG Pepes thrashed Canada 73-30 in the Nations Cup competition. The Pepes aim to put on strong performances and have a crack at winning the annual invitation tournament in Singapore.

According to The National, after their 43-point win over the Canuks, PNG are keen to add more scalps to their list of victims.

The Pepes play tournament newcomer Zambia next and are excited about the prospect of taking on the athletic Africans.

“We’ve trained well and the girls look sharp and ready for the challenge,” Rokoura said.

“We’ve achieved our first objective which was to win the opening game so now we have to keep the momentum. The focus on the remaining games is to keep possession and utilising our turnovers to turn them into points.”

Hosts Singapore, Ireland and Bostwana are shaping up to be the Pepes biggest threats.
