Mr. Peters would also like to thank the Trinidad & Tobago Rugby Referees Society (TTRRS), headed by Anthony Pontiflette, and his team for all their hard work during the season.
Commendations are also to go out to the Clubs and Players for a season where indiscipline was at a minimum, which reflects the culture of the sport of rugby.
The TTRFU continues in its vein of development, in conjunction with Rugby Americas North (RAN), the regional development body, by hosting several training sessions for Referees and Coaches in mid January 2020.
We wish to thank all stakeholders including, The Sport Company of Trinidad & Tobago (SporTT), the Ministry of Sport & Youth Affairs, the Trinidad & Tobago Olympic Committee (TTOC), the Horticultural Services Division of the Ministry of Agriculture, Land & Fisheries and all private sponsors for a successful 2019 rugby season.
A special note of thanks goes out to the Trinidad & Tobago Media Entities, both print and electronic, for their tremendous support in assisting the TTRFU in making Rugby a truly National sport.
