The Enga Mioks have qualified for the 2018 Papua New Guinea Digicel Cup Grand Final after defeating the Waghi Tumbe 16 – 6 at Lae in the Major Semi Final on Sunday.
After finishing the regular season as Minor Premiers, the Mioks went into the encounter as slight favourites against an in-form Tumbe team, and now sit just one win away from winning their first Premiership since joining the National Championship 18 years ago.
