The national women’s Sevens rugby squad currently preparing for the NACRA Championship and Olympic Qualifiers at the WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, North Carolina USA on June 13-14 yesterday received support from the Guyana Lottery Company (GLC), during a simple ceremony that was conducted, at the entity’s Head Office on Lamaha Street.
The Guyanese who won the NACRA c/ships in 2008, 2009 and 2010 disappeared from the international scene for sometime and is scheduled to make their return in this year’s tournament.
Managing Director Tracy Lewis said that it was a pleasure to assist the female team in their quest not only to go to the top of NACRA, but also to become the first team sport in Guyana to qualify for the Olympics.
Should Guyana’s women come out victorious at the NACRA 7s championships or place second or third, they then qualify for a playoff against similarly placed teams from the other Regional associations early in 2016.
Canada and USA are the main conntenders to Guyana’s success, but with the current placing of both teams on the world circuit there is a very good possibility that they may pre-qualify without having to participate at NACRA in June.
According to the GRFU, a cost of US$43 000 will be needed to send the women to the tournament.
The players in training are: Carren Carter, Tricia Munroe, La Toya Hamilton Cordis, Collette Hope, Nicole Nero, Natasha Andrews, Alicia Fortune, Shennel Daniels, Alicia Mentore, Carren Skeete, Sabola Gray, Andrea Lashley, Grace Jarvis, Princesa Wilkie, Vionette Profitt, Cloetta Dublin, Theresa Torres and Cindy Fraser.
