Green Machine scrums with Guadeloupe today at National ParkLopes to debut
Keifer Lopes will make his debut for the Green Machines today against Guadeloupe.
The new venue for the Guyana versus Guadeloupe 15s match for the Rugby Americas North (RAN) South Zone title is the National Park athletics track from 3:00pm today which has hosted international matches on numerous occasions. The venue change was forced after heavy showers on Thursday left the initial venue; the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) ground waterlogged.
Head Coach of the team, Kenneth Grant-Stuart, is not too dissatisfied with the venue change but the only bother will be seating accommodations for the local fans. However, it was revealed by the coach that the National Sports Commission (NSC) has pledged to set up some removable bleachers for the match.

Grant-Stuart is extremely happy with his team’s composition, “I am very much satisfied because all the plays were are running; everyone is in-tune with it and it’s looking pretty good this afternoon.”
