“The Wolverines have been together for three years, and have gone from an unranked world position to 18th in that time, (Jamaica is 23^rd). This is a great achievement, but there is still a lot to do and we need support to go to the next level of this growing sport,” said Cory Tukeli, cup organizer.  “The Jamaica game is on the Saturday evening of the Caribbean Carnival weekend and promises to be an exciting, hard running, hard hitting game.”
