Trinidad & Tobago still in RAN Championship

Earlier reports that Trinidad & Tobago had dropped out of the Rugby Americas North Championship have proven inaccurate. A Cayman Islands media source initially reported the withdrawal but T&T officials have since confirmed to Americas Rugby News that they are, in fact, still in the Championship.

The confusion seems to have arisen from a funding concern that has seen their third match of the competition against the Cayman Islands postponed. Originally scheduled for June 23, a new date has yet to be confirmed with TTRFU President Colin Peters hoping to have the matter settled soon pending the release of government funding.

In the meantime T&T has confirmed their roster for their match against the USA South Panthers at St. Mary’s College Grounds in Port-of-Spain on Saturday. Kickoff is set for 4pm local time.
