Organised by the Guyana Rugby Football Union in collaboration with the visiting New York Caribbean Cougars and Yamaha Caribs, the tournament brought together seven schools including St. John’s College, South Ruimveldt Secondary, Tutorial, Christ Church and Charlestown as part of the Union’s Future Development Programme geared at ensuring a continuous flow of players in the system.
Played in an atmosphere that resembled a regional tournament, the students entertained the fans with some exciting rugby despite their limited knowledge of the sport.
