Doing it island style, the Turks and Caicos Islands Rugby Football Union recently launched its boys spring league with beach rugby matches and barbecue. Tourists and residents were on hand to witness many of the players from the TCIRFU’s Under 19s and Under 15s take part in a number of highly competitive matches at the Children’s Park in the Bight. Reuben Adams and Eduardo Villaneava landed some big hits while Michael Williams and Cardashio Williams crossed for a number of impressive tries. TCIRFU Director of Rugby Sean O’Neill is excited to start the new season. “It’s great to have the boys season under way after the Christmas break,” O’Neill said. “Last year we had a number of the junior players step up to play in the competitive senior match in December, and they played very well. We are looking forward to developing more talent so these players can go on to represent the Turks and Caicos on a national level.” “Having won the Shield at the North America and Caribbean Sevens last year it has given all of us a taste of what we can achieve and these are the young guys who can take rugby to the next level in the Turks and Caicos,” TCIRFU Captain Blair Mason added. Training takes place Saturdays at the Meridian Field in the Village at Grace Bay at 10 a.m. Age groups include Under 12s, Under 15s and Under 19s. For more information, contact
