In their first game the GDF team defeated the Yamaha Caribs 10 to five with forward Avery Corbin opening the score line by completing a try in the first minute of the second half.
Caribs’s forward Volan Adams tied the game a minute later with a try of his own but GDF’s running back Lloyd Hutson completed a try to seal GDF’s victory.
In their second game, the GDF outlasted the Hornets Rugby Club 10 to seven.
GDF’s winger Breon Walks recorded two tries one in the second minute of the first half and the other in the fourth minute of the second half.
Hornets’ forward and former national captain Elwyn Chase then scored a face-saving try which he then duly converted.
In an entertaining, high-scoring third game, the Caribs defeated the Hornets by 26 points to 24.
