THE Guyana Rugby Football Union (GRFU), under new president Ryan Dey, yesterday announced the names of the elected National coaches that will be leading the ‘Green Machine’ at every participatory regional and international level for the next two years.

According to a release from the union, following an executive meeting held February 25 where nominations were opened for head and assistant coaches for the Under-19, Senior Men’s 15s, Senior Men’s 7s and the Women teams, it was decided, following a vote, that Laurence Adonis will serve as head coach of the U-19s and U-15s sides, while former National player Theodore Henry will return as the National Sevens team coach.

Kenneth Grant-Stuart was named as the women’s National coach and will have former player and referee Sabola Gray as his assistant.

Oslen Ollivierre will serve as Adonis’ assistant for both the U-19 and U-15 sides, while Australia-based Kevin McKenzie will be Henry’s assistant on the Sevens side.

The election of the coaches was done ahead of the Rugby America North (RAN) 15s competition, where the Green Machine will first be taking on rivals Trinidad and Tobago in Guyana, on a date yet to be named.

Guyana will then go head-to-head with the winner of a match between Barbados and St Vincent and the Grenadines.
