7 teams for GRFU tag tourney on Saturday
The GRFU has been approved to host a tournament this Saturday.
Kaieteur News – President of the Guyana Rugby Football Union (GRFU), Ryan Dey, has confirmed to Kaieteur Sport that rugby will be able to compete finally after being dormant for over a year due to the covid-19 pandemic with a Tag Tourney which will get underway this Saturday at the National Park from 10:00hrs.
The event will feature a total of seven clubs, five males and two females and it will be strictly no contact.
In Tag Rugby each player has two ribbons attached to their body and a tag is simply the removal by a defender of one of the two ribbons. Once tagged the player in possession must stop and pass the ball to a team-mate within three seconds. However, the game is continuous and tagged players may pass within the act of stopping.
Besides the tagging rule the game remains the same.
Tag Rugby was identified by the International governing body of the sport; World Rugby, as part of the return to play protocols and this version of the game will allow the players to hit the ground running and will alleviating the potential spread of the covid-19 virus.
The event that is being sponsored by the GRFU will see trophies for first to third place teams, while the Male and Female with the most tries will also receive accolades.
