The Guyana Rugby Football Union (GRFU) continues to garner support from the corporate community ahead of the U-19 Rugby Americas North (RAN) 7s Championship.
Yesterday, Modern Optical Services demonstrated its commitment in supporting the development of the local ruggers following its sponsorship to help cover the expenses associated with the National U-19 team’s sojourn to Jamaica.
The young ‘Green Machine’ will compete in the July 12-16 Rugby Americas North (RAN) Senior Women’s 12s and Men’s U-19 championship at the University of the West Indies Mona Campus in Kingston.
During a brief ceremony at the company’s Middle Street office, Johan DaSilva presented a sponsorship cheque to the union’s Treasurer, Troy Yhip, who expressed his heartfelt appreciation to the company for its support towards local rugby.
The Men’s U-19 team is scheduled to depart Guyana in early July for their first outing at the RAN U-19 championship since the Covid-19 hiatus, and the GRFU is extremely pleased with Modern Optical’s sponsorship.
Yhip acknowledged that other businesses and organizations could join hands with the GRFU in its efforts to restore rugby to its former glory in Guyana. He urged them to consider supporting the union as it strives to uplift and promote rugby within the region.
