THE Guyana Rugby Football Union (GRFU) had another exciting clash of rugby 12s last Sunday at the National Park’s rugby outfield. The clash saw the younger Police Falcons unit registering an emphatic 48-12 win over the veteran Guyana Defence Force (GDF) side.

Lionel Holder continued his purple patch to be the standout player in the match with a total of three tries and two conversions.

The Falcons took command of the game early on through Shawn David’s try which was converted well by former national player, now coach, Theodore Henry, who is proving that he still has a lot more power in the engine.

The second try of the game was touched by GDF’s Avery Corbin and it was converted by Kevin Wills to see the army men tie the score and give their troops hope of a victory, but Falcons’ Adrian Hall quickly quelled those ambitions with a try which eventually became Holder’s first conversion of the clash.

Holder then quickly registered his first try to close off the first half of play 19-7 in favour of Police Falcons.

On resumption of play, Jonathan David contributed a try for the defence force to keep their hope alive of a comeback with the score 19-12.

However, in the final 10 minutes of the encounter, the youngsters of Police Falcons turned up the heat and registered an incredible 28 unanswered points.

During this period, Holder and Michael Barrow scored two tries each, while Tevin Garraway etched his name in the scoresheet with one. In terms of conversions, Holder made two while Henry did one.
