The president of the

Ghana Rugby Association (GRA) Madam Annan – Myers has praised and congratulated

ex- players of rugby who have formed clubs and become coaches of the teams

playing in the Seniors 15 S League.

She said since Ghana

started playing Rugby ten years ago, much has been gained.

She said the clubs

have united to compete and this has developed into the Ghana Rugby Union.

One club, Cosmos

Buffalos have dominated and won most times because they have a positive

approach to the development and promotion of the game in Ghana.

Cosmos coach Amuzu who

is also the national coach has urged the other clubs to train harder and play

better to make the competition more

interesting to attract more sponsors.

He however hinted that

it would be very difficult for any club to beat them, because they keep on

being disciplined and grooming new stars for rugby.

Coach Amuzu thanked Beaufort Properties Limited for supporting

Rugby over the years. Elvina, a representative of Beaufort Properties said her company

wants to see Ghanaians fit and happy. She said many people have big interest in

Rugby and wished other companies to come on board to support rugby.

Ruben Bannerman a

player of Cosmos told yours truly they are the best and no club can challenge

them because they have the best trainer and best players.

“We are also very

disciplined, and I think that is our magic, discipline” he said.

Kwame Amponfi Jnr. The

Greater Accra Regional Sports Director the GRA for finding financial support in

the private sector and promised that the government will certainly support

associations who put in some efforts to attract sponsorship and are seen to be

organised and working hard.

He praised the coaches

in the Greater Accra region who have made the region number one in the sport

and other disciplines.

The league begins on

December 14 at Cape Coast and continues on January 11 in Accra, then January

25 in Cape Coast before the finals in Legon, Accra on Febuary 8, 2014. The

At stake is a trophy

and cash prize of 1000ghc for the winners, 500ghc for the runners up and 300ghc

for the third placers. There would be prizes for best individual performers for

best player etc.

Daniel Kenaz MensahSecretary

General of the Ghana Rugby Association said this year’s league would be

competitive and more interesting because an awareness had been created and more

people are getting to know the rules and regulations of the sport and since it

started at the schools, most students know much about the dos and donts and are

looking forward for more international matches abd exposure.
