The future of Women’s Rugby League in the country looks bright as the PNG Orchids campaign for the 2021 Women’s Rugby League World Cup in England received a major boost announced on Thursday.
Oil Search Country Manager Leon Buskens, whilst announcing the Amendment to its naming rights sponsorship agreement with PNGRFL said Oil Search became the inaugural sponsor of the Orchids in 2017 with the belief that the country’s national sport of rugby league should be the domain for both men and women and Oil Search as an organisation is honored to play a part in this remarkable journey that is also an important enabler for change.
Leon Buskens elaborates:
Oil Search sponsorship commitments from 2020 have been rolled over to combine with 2021, with the sponsorship package worth a total of 1.4 million kina.
