Rocky year for GRFU, players

Guyana’s national men’s rugby team.

Like the surface of rugby field at the National Park, the year 2018 was a rocky one for the Guyana Rugby Football Union and its players.

But despite tumbling in the 15s rankings, losing the Regional 7s Championships once again to Jamaica and being in the ‘red’, the union and its players have not dropped the ball and look forward to a resurgent 2019.

According to President of the Union, Peter Green, the performance of Guyana’s Men’s National Team known as the ‘Green Machine’ suffered tremendously primarily as a result of the continued inability to access its only traditionally known playing field located at the National Park these past 18 months due to the lack of urgency by the National Sports Commission’s undertaking to develop an all-weather ground.
