poor management of the competition
Final [Aug 19, Lae]
Lae City Dwellers n/p Madang
NB: the NSL decided to scrap the final following the withdrawal of PS United,
apparently for financial reasons, as "not all franchisees had paid their
fees in full undermining the viability of staging the finals" while noting
that "the on-going postponement of the finals had inconvenienced many
stakeholders including football fans and sponsors".
NB: this is a rebel league organised by the newly formed FFPNG, including six clubs which
played in the NSL last season
