My Ball!!! These must be the words going through the mind of this Cayman Islands player as she was being tackled by two Jamaicans when the two teams met in the Demlife/Tropical Rhythm sponsored North American West Indies Rugby Association Women’s 15 a side tournament at the National Park yesterday. (Lawrence Fanfair photo)Host Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago played to an exciting 5-5 draw whilst the defending champions Jamaica wrote their names in the scorers column with a 12-7 victory over debutantes Cayman Islands as action in the Demlife/Tropical Rhythm-sponsored North America West Indies Rugby Association (NAWIRA) Women’s 15-a-side rugby competition hosted by the Guyana Rugby Football Union (GRFU) continued at the National Park yesterday.

Following their shocking come-from-behind victory over the Jamaicans in their first round matchup, the youthful Trinidadian side, led by robust play from  captain Julian Straker, dominated the Guyanese in the feature match of the day.
