One of the biggest sponsorships in rugby league history just unfolded moments ago as Kumul Petroleum Holding came on board the sponsorship wagon with a huge K3 million sponsorship announcement for the PNG Hunters rugby league team.

Under the three year deal, KPHL becomes the gold sponsor of the reigning Queensland Intrust Cup champion.

Managing Director Wapu Sonk said KPHL is proud to support the Hunters team and is confident that the team will continue to promote good sportsmanship and better family values in PNG.

“KPHL’s vision is to create value and opportunity for PNG and its people by becoming a major national oil and gas corporation. To the end, we see the opportunity to support Hunters where it goes a long way to meaningfully expose PNG’s pool of rugby league talent to the world,” Sonk said.

KPHL is also involved in rugby league through the sponsorship of the Kroton Hela Wigmen’s participation in the PNGNRL Digicel Cup.

The sponsorship of KPHL will see their logo on the Hunter’s sleeve of their playing jersey this year.
