Guyana men’s rugby team will mean business when the players take the field against Guadeloupe tomorrow at the GDF Ground.
During a press briefing yesterday at Thirst Park ahead of tomorrow’s Rugby Americas North (RAN) 15s South Zone Cup final, Communications Manager of key sponsor Banks DIH Limited, Troy Peters, declared that Guyana has a chance to regain their dominance as the region’s top side. He added that Banks is fully behind the sport.
President of the Guyana Rugby Football Union (GRFU), Peter Green, was also optimistic, saying that the local outfit will be ready for their clash with Guadeloupe. He asserted that his charges are hungry and mean business especially since their last five games have been unfavourable results.
However, Green observed that there may be a change in the venue due to early May/June showers that caused flooding in and around the city yesterday. He identified the National Park (Track and Field) as an alternative venue should the rainy weather persists. Stabroek Sport will keep readers updated.
Meanwhile, there will be a lot on the line for tomorrow’s match up which kicks off at 15:30hrs.
Should Guyana defeat Guadeloupe, the ‘Green Machine’ will host North Zone winners Bermuda (who defeated Jamaica 43-14) in May.
The winner of that fixture will have the right to play the loser of the Mexico versus the Cayman Islands match in the latter half of the year for promotion into the Americas Challenge Championships.
