UG ruggers taught lesson by Hornets

The Hornets 15s rugby team took the players from the University Of Guyana (UG) to school and taught them the finer points of rugby with a stinging 7-36 defeat yesterday at the rugby field in the second official game of the season.

Tries by national players Peabo Hamilton and Ryan Gonsalves in the first half along with second half tries by other national ruggers Chris Singh and Blaise Bailey enabled the star studded Hornets team to run away with the emphatic victory.
Lance Brown also recorded two tries and while Rickford Cummings (two) and Gonsalves (one) chipped in with conversions to balloon the margin of victory.
Ryan Dey’s try and Lance Adonis’ conversion was not good enough for the students UG to complete an upset victory.

In the first official game of the season on Saturday, the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) 15s rugby team defeated the Yamaha Caribs, 31-22.
On Saturday there will be a double header at the same venue. Hornets will tackle the Caribs while GDF will face UG.
