The participating teams in the men’s category are: Police Falcons, Panthers, the Guyana Defence Force, Pepsi Hornets and Yamaha Caribs, while the women’s category will see two teams battle in a best of three series.
Police have recruited two guests’ players from Trinidad and Tobago (T&T) who according to local officials are highly regarded in rugby circles at home and expected to provide a significant boost to the team.

Meanwhile, fans are being urged to come out and support the event and have fun with drinks and food for sale throughout the day.
