Jamaica Rugby team out for revenge (again) in the third annual
Scotiabank Toronto Caribbean Carnival Rugby Cup
July 15,
2013 (Toronto) – The Reggae Warriors are out for
revenge --again. The Jamaica based team has lost the Scotibank Toronto
Caribbean Rugby Cup twice
to the Canadian National Team (The Wolverines). The two teams will have a
rematch, the evening of July 20thas part of the Scotiabank Caribbean
Carnival festival.
The
Reggae Warriors and the Wolverines will begin their match at 7p.m. July 21st
at the Lamport Stadium in downtown Toronto. The Cup Match will include not just
rugby but also live entertainment before, during and after the game.
“The Wolverines have been together for three years, and
have gone from an unranked world position to 18th in that time, (Jamaica is 23rd).
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.”
“There will be music as well, food and a beer tent
available,” he continued. “Rugby League is
known for it's family atmosphere, so it is definitely kid friendly, bring them
along! Tickets are just $10.00.”
