Trinity College step up preparations for rugby season

Trinity will play two matches today and two on Tuesday against a Barbados development team.

Team coach, Don Sucre, said the school’s rugby team has been performing at a high level and this trip will celebrate the team’s effort.

Sucre said, “(This trip) is to commemorate two years since the team has started playing within the school’s league. The Under-14 team were very successful.

They won the league and knockout champions (competition).

Because of their age all of them will be going into the Under- 17 division, so I am hoping to build the team and have them gel a little more.” Sucre is also hoping the players implement the style of play they have learnt recently. “I am looking to see team support and team play. I want them to be able to put the game structure that we have been practicing for the past few weeks into play on the field. We have no idea what the opposition is like, so we are trying to work on every aspect on the field – defence and attack.” The team is preparing for the Trinidad and Tobago Schools Rugby League, which starts in late September or early October.
