Guyana’s National Rugby team, the Green Machine has continued to be recipients of the benevolence of the Edward B. Beharry Group of Companies, when on Wednesday the company presented an undisclosed financial assistance to the team ahead of their trip to the Hong Kong Sevens tournament which runs from from April 7-9.
The Green Machine qualified for the international showpiece event after winning the Caribbean Sevens championships last year in Trinidad and Tobago and is expected to have a 5-day camp in New York next week. According to President of the Guyana Rugby Union Peter Green, the support from the company is extremely timely.
Green added, ”there is a need for results since winning the Caribbean champions and once we get pass some teams we would create history since if they do well and I expect them to well they will be on the world tour circuit.”

The National Sports Commission (NSC) also helped in the cause but Green continues to advocate for more governmental support since “We need to have the government fully involved and we need to have them matching our sponsors dollar for dollar or even more.”
Edward B Beharry Group of Companies produce “Champion” products and are fondly called the home of champions. Their Brand manager, Monique Tiwari stated that the company is proud to support the national rugby on their journey to Hong Kong and extended best wishes to the team.
The Squad reads: Rupert Giles, Vallon Adams, Richard Staglon, Rondell McArthur, Rickford Cummings, Ryan Gonsalves (captain), Pebo Hamilton, Claudis Butts, Patrick King, Avery Corbin, Ronald Mayers and Blaize Bailey. Coach: Keneth Grant-Stuart, Physio Barington Browne, Manager Robin Roberts
