The organising committee for the tournament is headed by Peter Kesu as chairman and Wilson Bogan as tournament director.

“Venue has been confirmed with Balob Teachers College giving the green light to host all the games,” Kesu said.

“The Sir Ignatius Kilage Stadium is the alternate venue should the weather is unfavourable.

“So far 10 associations consisting of 12 men’s and 14 women’s teams have confirmed participation.

“Accommodation is being organised for all teams to be accommodated close to the games venue with Butibam village hosting several teams.

“Any teams wanting information on accommodation should contact me or Bogan.

“It is vital that confirmation and registration of teams/association participating should be finalised by June 30,  2010 therefore all teams yet to confirm paticipation must do so before the closing date.

“No late registration will be accepted as draws will be finalised also by then.”

All association should pay in their registration fees of K150 per team and K300 per association by the June 30 deadline.
