-rated a success
The Guyana Rugby Football Union (GRFU) on Thursday concluded its first Under-14 Schools Competition for the year, and according to Junior Development Officer, Troy Yhip, the tournament was a success.
Yhip said the Hamson’s Trading-sponsored event was productive because it provided the opportunity for new players (boys and girls) to be introduced to the sport at an early age.
The Junior Development Officer described the event as a positive expansion for the sport, especially since this year saw an increase in the amount of teams that participated when compared with previous years and according to him that is testimony to the high level of interest that resides within the junior category.
The tournament attracted for the first time players from Covent Garden, Tutorial High, St John’s College, Marian Academy and North Georgetown and was played at the National Park Rugby Field as part of the five-year youth development programme of the Union which commenced in 2010.
In results of the day’s activities: North Georgetown Secondary School ‘A’ team played unbeaten to lift the winning trophy in the Boys category.
En route to the final, they defeated their B-team counterparts two tries to nil, then got past Covent Garden four tries to nil and drew with St John’s ‘A’ one-all.
St John’s College Girls defeated Marian Academy Girls one-nil in the best-of-three format to be crowned champions.
Previous youth tournaments were sponsored by Geddes Grant, Sterling Products and Dyna’s Embroidery.
