GRFU heartened by NSC Sports Awards nominations

THE Guyana Rugby Football Union (GRFU) said it is pleasantly surprised and heartened by nominations of the various categories for the National Sports Commission Awards by its sister associations and stakeholders.

President of the Union, Peter Green, told Chronicle Sport the executives put in hard work.
“Many (executives) who work endless days and countless nights voluntarily, planning the strategic goals, policies and activities necessary to ensure the continuing growth and cementing of the future of the Sport in successfully placing the country’s profile on the world stage.”
The focus of the union is Olympic qualification and participation in 2016.
The GRFU, its players and officials have been nominated in six of the 14 categories for the NSC 2014 awards.
The category winners will be decided on and announced when the NSC committee, comprising media houses and other stakeholders in sports, meets at the Cliff Anderson on February 20.
The GRFU’s senior team has been nominated for Sports Team-of-the-Year with five votes from various associations. The seniors are multiple winners of the NACRA 7s title and have for the first time won the NACRA 15s. Guyana is the only country to lay claim to both titles.
Together with this nomination, National coach Theodore Henry has been nominated for Sports Male Coach. He has the nod of four associations. There are three other nominations in this category.
National captain Ryan Gonsalves has two nominations in the Sportsman-of-the-Year award category.
The GRFU has also been nominated as the Sports Association-of-the-Year – five associations have recognised their efforts. They have also been nominated as the Most Improved Association for 2014. Two bodies have chosen them.
President of the union Peter Green also finds himself on the list of nominees for the Male Sports Official-of-the-Year award.
