Zorica Morgan, Geojimah Row held on to beat a more experienced women side to set history on two fronts: the first for any women’s team from the Solomons to play in the final and to beat PNG.

With silver now in the bag, another goal would add to the three already won by the country’s top lifter Wini today.
