Proud to support rising stars of the Pacific!

As a key sponsor of the Port Moresby Racquets Club Junior Team, we are thrilled to see talented young athletes representing Papua New Guinea in Melbourne last week at the Oceania Junior Squash championships.

Empowering youth through sport builds resilience, leadership and international connections, values we’re proud to champion across the region.

Young talents Ella and Leonie also took some time out from their busy schedule to explore what’s new in the world of DAB during their visit.

Congratulations to all players who competed at 🎾🏆

Our junior development program for squash and tennis is undeniably top tier, and it is so incredibly exciting to see it continue to produce top-ranked athletes who headline major events like this. Timonaliz Alarcos-Kriebisch and River-Jordan Hakena, you are inspiring the next generation!

But we all know that champions aren't made alone. To our beautiful POMRC community of coaches, parents, aunties & uncles and lifelong friends, this is your victory, too!

Thank you for all the support that continues to drive our growth. We couldn't do any of this without you.

Let’s go, Timonaliz and River-Jordan!

Your POMRC family is cheering you on all the way! 🏆🎾🏸✨

HISTORY was made at the Pacific Oceania Junior Championships (POJC) in Fiji, as Papua New Guinea’s junior tennis star Colita Hakena cemented her status as a POJC legend by securing her fifth consecutive title.

Carrying the hopes of her nation and the weight of a historic milestone, Hakena stepped onto the court for the 16 and under girls’ singles final against New Caledonia’s Heata Nui Ista Toofa.

Despite the immense pressure, she delivered spectacularly, claiming the crown to become a five time POJC champion.
