The charges of the Guyana Rugby Football Union (GRFU), got their first taste of competitive action for the 2023 season on Sunday with a 15s match in the National Park. 

In the encounter, the Vice-President’s XV thumped the President’s XV 23-nil in a one-sided affair. 

Panthers’ Godfrey Broomes helped the Vice-President’s side to the sweeping victory by recording eight points. Broomes opened the scoring by opting to take a shot at goal from a penalty, 40 metres from the try line. After nailing the penalty goal, Kevin Wills bullied his way past the porous defense of the President’s XV on the brink of half time, leaving the score 8-0.
