A SUBLIME performance from Trinidad and Tobago in wet conditions ensured they overcome the country national rugger on Saturday 26-3 in the return leg match-up of their Rugby Americas North 15 championship.
Guyana’s the Green Machine started well as Godfrey Broomes converted a penalty kick to put the locals ahead in the 7th minute of play for the advantage, as the local took on the higher ranked men from the twin island republic at the GDF ground at Camp Ayanganna.

Trinidadian Ruairi O’Farrell had a golden opportunity to level the scores in the 17th minute but failed to convert the penalty kick as Guyana kept the narrow lead.
After advancing in Guyana’s half for a sustained period T&T’s Jonathan Taylor would make good on their progression to record their first try in the 33rd minute to take the lead 5-3.

After the break Owen Adonis had a good run but could not finish as the Trinis continued to press their advantage to eventually force another try thanks to Anderson Joseph, who made it 10-3 in the 52nd minute before missing the conversion.

Guyana looked undercooked in the game and had several clusters in the middle, failing to spread out thereby using their line to create space to give themselves a chance of scoring, their best effort came from a Lionel Holder run for about 60 metres, 30 yards from the opposition try line but the visitors stopped him in his track with Guyana still on 3 points.

T&T Joseph came back 10 minutes later to record a brace to make it 15-3 as the game started to slipped away from the locals.
In the final 10 minutes of the contest Trinidad’s Christopher Hutson converted two penalties to make it 21-3.

Joseph would drive the final nail in the coffin with a third try to complete the hat-trick a for 26-3 win.
In April Guyana narrowly defeated Trinidad and Tobago 24-23 at the Hasely Crawford Stadium in Port-of-Spain in their away game.
