The names released comprised a combination of players who have represented Guyana at either the junior or senior level and at the inter-association levels.
Joining Neils (Jr) are national centre Shane Webster and forward Neil Marks, former youth national guards Orin Rose (Jr), Chris Williams and Marlon Pollydore and Allister Webster  along with former national junior captain Marvin Hartman, Quincy Jones, Mark Louis, Nevin Grenville, Harold Adams, Orlando Glasgow and Keon Cameron.
According to an official from the LABA, the names of the Under-19 players will be announced later this week along with the coaches and technical staff for the event on Saturday.
