The Guyana Olympic Association (GOA), through a press release yesterday, announced its sponsorship of the national men’s rugby team ahead of the Grenada 7s Championships.
It was stated in the release that “the Executive Committee of the Guyana Olympic Association on Thursday, November 9, met with the Guyana Rugby Football Union (GRFU) to render financial assistance to the senior men’s team participation in the Grenada 7’s Championships.”
At the simple handover ceremony at Olympic House, President of the GOA, Godfrey Munroe, stated that it gives great pleasure for the association to lend support to the union. Munroe then wished the members of the outfit dubbed the ‘Green Machine’ much success as they represent the country in yet another positive step in further strengthening Guyana’s distinguished presence on the “international scene”.
The Grenada 7s, which kick off on December 1, have attracted teams from the UK, USA, Canada, and the Caribbean.
It is the longest-running club rugby 7s tournament in the region and has returned to Grenada for its second year. Eighteen of the world’s best men’s and women’s Elite 7s teams will compete in the tournament from December 1 for a total prize pool of $20,000.
