Local rugby club Pepsi Hornets Sunday joined in the ongoing Carnival celebrations after they defeated the Yamaha Caribs in a thrilling final of the Guyana Rugby Football Union (GRFU) Carnival Sevens tournament at the National Park.

Hornets won 12-10 in a gripping final which earned them the first prize of  $US750.

Sevens is always a game of fine margins but the Hornets will give special thanks to the late missed conversion by Claudius Butts that would have tied the game in the final seconds.
