RUGBY FOOTBALL

T&T’s men’s and women’s teams made strong starts at the Rugby America North 7s Championship at St Mary’s College Ground, Serpentine Road, St Clair yesterday, with the men’s topping their group and the women unbeaten to date at the group stage.

At this most difficult time the Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee ( TTOC ) extends sincerest condolences -on the passing of Jason 'Moon' Clark -to Andy and Josephine Clark and the Clark family, The Caribs Rugby Club, The Trinidad and Tobago Rugby Football Union (TTRFU ).

The Trinidad and Tobago Rugby Football Union (TTRFU) unveiled the national men and women’s teams through a “Meet the Players” event at the Prison Sports grounds last Friday. The event was the creative idea of General Assistant Secretary/ Treasurer Karl Muckette who planned and executed the event as a means of introducing the players representing the country at the Rugby Americas North (RAN) Sevens Tournament which gets underway on Saturday.

THE LATE Caribs and Trinidad and Tobago rugby player Jason ‘Moon’ Clark will be remembered for his generous spirit, as well as the love and respect he showed to all that he met as well as persons he grew familiar with.
