Local ruggers set to take on Barbados

TIMES INT'L

The Guyana 15s team leaves for Barbados on Friday to contest their first game in round two of the Southern Zone of the 2015 Rugby World Cup NACRA Regional Qualifiers.

Guyana is in a must win situation to ensure they remain in the contest for the finals of the Southern Zone Qualifier when they play Trinidad and Tobago at the Providence National Stadium on June 2. Trinidad and Tobago defeated Barbados 30–3, two weeks ago in TT. Should Guyana defeat Barbados, the winner of the Guyana and Trinidad & Tobago game will play the winner of the Northern Zone for the NACRA Caribbean Rugby World Cup Regional Qualifier finals in two weeks.

Bermuda defeated Guyana in the finals of the NACRA Caribbean Fifteens Championships last year in Guyana but the locals had previously defeated Trinidad and Tobago at home and Barbados in Guyana.

The Guyana team for the Barbados game will be without its National Rugby Sevens star players, Claudius Butts, who is injured, Richard Staglon and Ronald Mayers who are in Trinidad and Tobago, and Rupert Giles who is in England.

The Guyana team has, however, been joined by Ryan Hinckson and Delon Downer who are presently playing rugby in Trinidad and Tobago.

The newly elected President of the GRFU, Col. John Lewis, will serve as Manager; Head Coach is Theodore Henry and Barrington Browne in the team’s Fitness Trainer.

Guyana: Ryan Gonsalves (Captain), Troy Arjune, Alain Crawford, Jason Tyrell, Avery Corbin, Ryan Dojoy, Dwayne Schroeder, Delon Downer, Rondell Mc Arthur, Leon Greaves, Rodwell Hutson, Elwin Chase, Peabo Hamilton, Blaize Bailey, Ryan Hinckson, Delroy Gordon, Terrance Daniels, Germaine Prowell, Cyon Kitt, Claude Alexander, Rickford Cummings, Joseph Rahaman.
