The Guyana Rugby Football Union (GRFU) continued its Sevens League over the weekend, providing spectators and passersby in the National Park at Georgetown with entertainment and excitement.
On Sunday, the armed forces proved too strong for their opponents, dismantling all the teams that crossed their paths.
In the first encounter, the Guyana Police Force Falcons walloped the Under-19 team 36-nil in a one-sided affair. In like form, Falcons, coached by well-decorated former national player Theodore Henry, demolished arch-nemesis Panthers 47-7.
Panthers, now reduced to a shell of the team that ruled the rugby roost in sevens for a number of years, could not handle the firepower of the GPF side.
The Under-19 team also defeated Panthers, who had the likes of former national players Rondel ‘Bull McArthur, Ryan Dey, Jacques Archibald and Kiefer Lopes. Showing that the future of local rugby will be in capable hands, the Under-19 team stole the match 21-17.

However, the other military team, GDF, did not allow the Under-19 team to get the better of them, as they stormed to a 21-5 victory.
Proving to be a formidable team coached by former national player Claudius Butts, GDF also soared to a 24-7 win over a badly injured Panthers outfit.
Action continues on the rugby pitch in the National Park this weekend – August 26 and 27 – from 14:00 hours.
