The West Indies Rugby Teams put on stellar performances at the recent Tropical 7’s Elite Division tournament, with the women’s team securing an impressive 2nd place finish and the men’s team finishing 4th overall.
In an exhilarating display of skill, determination and teamwork, the West Indies women’s team battled their way to the finals, and narrowly missed out on the championship title.
Against formidable opposition by way of the Mac Dowell Academy out of Canada (2024 champions), the West Indies women showcased their speed, agility, and strategic prowess on the field to earn the admiration of fans and competitors alike.
Meanwhile, the West Indies men’s team displayed their competitive spirit and resilience as they faced tough competition throughout the tournament. Despite the challenges, the team fought hard and delivered exceptional performances, earning a well-deserved 4th place finish in the Elite Division.
“We couldn’t be prouder of our rugby teams for their outstanding performances at the Tropical 7’s Elite Division,” said the team’s Technical Director Wayne Pantor. “The dedication, passion, and talent of our players were on full display, and we are excited to see what the future holds for West Indies rugby.”
Every member of the teams and every management personnel was a true ambassador of the West Indies and of the individual country from whence they came over the period of the tournament.
The success of the West Indies Rugby Team at the Tropical 7’s Elite Division is a testament to the hard work and commitment of the players, coaches, and support staff. The teams remain focused on continuing to elevate their game and represent the West Indies with pride on the international rugby stage.
