GOA President K. A Juman Yassin at a press conference some time ago had disclosed that they were talks with the Rugby Union, headed by Peter Green, to assist in their preparations for the NACRA Rugby Sevens Championships to be held in the Cayman Islands November 9 – 10, 2013.
The GOA’s assistance of One Million Guyana dollars will go towards the GRFU engaging the services of Internationally renowned Coach Spencer Robinson who will fine tune the Guyana team for these games, the Guyanese Ruggers have already commenced preparations.
Guyana have been the Powerhouse of Sevens Rugby with an unequalled record of winning consecutive championships from 2006 – 2011.
The Cycling Federation , led by Cheryl Thompson collected $400,000 which will go towards expenses associated with Guyana participating at this year’s Caribbean Cycling Championships scheduled for Curacao, October 19 -20.
Guyana will be represented by an eight member team which will include three female riders.
Both President’s, Green and Thompson, expressed sincere gratitude to the GOA for the assistance given which they say will go a long way in allowing them to achieve their respective goals of making Guyana proud.
