A tough year awaits the Guyana Football Rugby Union (GFRU) whose staging of the Caribbean Women’s 15-a-side tournament in May is the showpiece event of what is a packed schedule.
Speaking to the media at a press briefing held at the Guyana Olympic Association (GOA) building on Church and Peter Rose Streets Queenstown on Friday, president of the GRFU, Noel Adonis, stated that his executives would work overtime to ensure all the listed events would be executed promptly and efficiently.
“The International Rugby Board (IRB) has begun its qualification process for the 2011 World Cup which will be hosted by New Zealand, and our qualifying round takes place in the Cayman Islands from April 19-26 and Guyana, being a part of the Americas Zone, will be contesting for a place against seven other teams including Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, Bermuda, Bahamas, Mexico,/ St Vincent and the Grenadines and host Cayman Islands,” Adonis disclosed.
