The Guyana Rugby Football Union (GRFU) yesterday received support from the National Sports Commission (NSC) in the form of a cheque worth $1.2M to help blanket expenses for the men’s team which will compete in the Rugby Americas North (RAN) 7s Championship in the Turks and Caicos.
Director of Sport, Steve Ninvalle made the presentation to the union’s Assistant/Secretary Treasurer, Tiffany Spencer at his Middle Street office where he highlighted the NSC’s pleasure at being able to support one of the country’s most successful sport teams – the ‘Green Machine’.
“Rugby is one of our 12 Core Sports disciplines. And not because it is a core sport, we would want to assist as many sports disciplines as possible. We understand that this is a very important tournament and that is why we try to muster as much support as possible,” Ninvalle said.
