The sight of the women on the field again is a welcomed one since women’s rugby has been floundering in recent years.
In addition, President of the Guyana Rugby Football Union, Peter Green presented the women with training gear and rugby balls to facilitate effective training.
Further, with 31 females shortlisted, Guyana will be aiming to identify the best possible team for the championships in a hope of having Guyana win a fourth title in the women’s version of the tournament.
