THE Guyana Rugby Football Union (GRFU) received a timely boost on Saturday afternoon, after Franklyn Victor through Rumina Construction pledged his support to the under-19 team’s funding towards their trip to Jamaica for the Rugby Americas North (RAN) 15s tourney.

The finances are needed to offset ticket prices, accommodation and meals. The tournament will run from July 16th to 17th at the University of the West Indies’ Mona Campus.

There will be a total of 26 players and four officials in the travel contingent.

Victor, a Guyanese who didnt represent the Green Machine in his playing days, but the BVI, shared that he is a big supporter of Guyana’s rugby and is always willing to help the GRFU in anyway that he can. He wished the team success in the upcoming tournament and asked them to represent the Golden Arrowhead well.

Troy Yhip; the treasurer of the GRFU, expressed his gratitude to Franklyn and mentioned that, “Franklyn Victor has been very supportive of Guyana’s rugby throughout the years and it was no surprise that he offered to assist the team in their trip to Jamaica. We are very grateful.”
