THE current executive of the Guyana Rugby Football Union, led by president Ryan Dey, is keen on developing the sport and its players.

It is against this backdrop that the GRFU has facilitated two of its young, promising players to participate in the New York Sevens tournament over the weekend.

Tyrese Prescod and Lionel Holder are currently in the U.S. preparing to play in the tournament.
The team will be playing under the name Elysium.

GRFU, in a release yesterday, said the officials saw the need to give the youths more exposure in the lead-up to the Rugby Americas North (RAN) Super Sevens in Mexico in February.

Through some of the foreign players and other rugby enthusiasts, the development/travel was made possible.

Meanwhile, the remaining squad is currently training under the watchful eyes of Sevens head coach, Theodore Henry, who is working to sharpen the skills of the team to be victorious at the next tournament.
