The Guyana Rugby Football Union (GRFU) held its biennial election on Sunday at the National Racquet Centre with Peter Green unanimously returning as President. Green was the only nomination for the post by the 36 eligible voters at the elections.
The Senior Vice-president post went to Major Earl Edghill of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF), who got 20 votes to Joshua Griffith’s eight. The Junior Vice-president position went to Rawle Toney of the Guyana Chronicle. He received 17 votes to Troy Yip’s 10.
Petal Adams returned as Secretary of the association with 24 votes to Terrence Grant’s four, while Ryan Gonsalves, Peter Campaign and Esan Griffith were elected unanimously to the posts of Treasurer, Assistant Secretary Treasurer and Public Relations Officer respectively.
The four Committee Members elected were Telroy McCalmont (25 votes), Kevon Davis (25 votes), Treiston Joseph (24 votes) and Sherlock Solomon (19 votes with tie-breaker).
After the electoral process, Green noted that one of the areas of focus will be to erase the five million dollars debt that the association currently has.
Nevertheless, Green shared that he is excited to have new ideas injected into the union by the new members of the executive body. He thanked the outgoing members of the association for their contribution to the sport.
