Rugby returns to the National Park this Saturday

The Guyana Rugby Football Union (GRFU) will begin their domestic season on Saturday at the National Park rugby field with a sevens tournament.
The tournament dubbed as ‘North versus South’ will be nothing short of excitement, as the national players along with the vibrant young ruggers will be combining for heated rivalry.

Due to the intensive rainy season, the union was forced to halt all scheduled matches as the inclement weather adversely affected the conditions of the pitch, rendering it unsafe. Nevertheless, during the Christmas holiday, players were urged to keep fit in anticipation of both the domestic and international seasons’ resumption.
The sevens season has been extended to January 21 with the Guinness sevens, followed by four other sevens one day tournaments which is expected to be concluded by February 12.   Guyana will play the winner out of the pool of Curacao/Martinique & Barbados in April, in an away game before locking horns with arch nemesis Trinidad and Tobago in June at home.  Players and officials from all clubs are asked to turn up on time for kick off at 16:00h at the National Park’s Rugby Field.
