The Ministry of Sports has sent a congratulatory message to the successful Guyana Rugby team on their advancing to the next stage of the regional World Cup qualifying tournament.
The Guyana team pounded Trinidad 20-0 in a must win game last Saturday at the National Stadium, Providence. The full text of the message is:
“On behalf of the entire sporting Community of the nation, the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport offers its fullest congratulations to the Guyana Rugby team which demolished the Trinidad Calypso Warriors, 20 – nil, in the final of the South Caribbean Rugby World Cup Qualifiers on Saturday at the National Stadium, Providence.
The games aptly epitomized what a sense of mission and determination, combined with skills, strategy and training could accomplish. The Guyanese know that Saturday’s game was a must win proposition, with failure never being an option. That they dominated nearly every aspect of the game was testimony to the results of full fitness, utilization of experience which then resulted in tries and penalties galore.”
“The Ministry is pleased and satisfied to have played its supportive role in the recent past and perhaps even this victory is proof of what public private enterprise could achieve.”
“The Ruggers, now imbued with added confidence, must carry on to defend and to score in their finals. Onto victory against the best from the North Caribbean. Let the Golden Arrowhead from the Green Land of Guyana continue to fly victoriously.”
“Congrats again on behalf of all Guyana.”
