On Saturday last, the lovely game of Rugby made a grand return to the National Park Ground with the GTT /GRFU tens Tournament. It was truly a testimony to experience and determination having the upper-hand.
Part of the action in the GRFU tems match between Hornets and UG Wolves in the National Park.
The day’s activities saw a resurging of the Pepsi Hornets team, (made up of several national players) having the better of a young UG Wolves squad. The composed Hornets defeated UG Wolves 13-0.
The game started with both teams looking very defensive but it was the Hornets’ Leon Greaves, who started the points rolling with three points from a field goal, followed by Basie Bailey with a conversion to finish off the first half of the game.
Rickford Cummins added another five points in the second half taking the score to thirteen to close off the day’s play.
UG Wolves’ defeat resulted from their many blunders and drop catches at crucial times in the game, so giving the Hornets the upper hand in the match.
The second game between GDF and Yamaha Caribs was reset for another match day due to little time for that game to be played. The match commissioner was Ret Colonel John Lewis.
