For the past month, both teams would have been undergoing intense training sessions at the National Rugby field, with the aim of getting into top shape for this weekend’s matches.
The men’s team will be seeking their eight title and Head Coach Kenneth Grant – Stuart says that the team have to address some issues but they should do well.
“For the past weeks, we have been working on fitness as one of the things and some structures that the guys are gelling into, we had some absentees due to joint services sports but everything is smoothing out”, the Coach explained.
The team which departed Guyana on Monday will have sessions in the twin island republic geared to towards addressing any technical areas and also making sure the Trinidad –base players are fit easily into the team.
Meanwhile, Head coach of the women’s, Theodore Henry says that though preparation was short, he still gives believes they can give a good account of themselves as they seek to win their fourth title.
“We had a short time to work but I think with the time, they progressed well and one thing we were working on was the recycling of the ball because the women tend to play one-phase rugby, in terms of one passage of the ball but they are beginning to move the ball a lot better,” Theodore explained.
