Last Saturday rugby enjoyed its fair share of attention at the T&T Olympic Committee(TTOC) Olympic day festival at Chagville, Chaguaramas . Trinidad and Tobago Rugby Football Union(TTRFU) president Leslie Figaro was in attendance and visited over fifteen exhibition areas said he was very pleased with the interest shown by the children some of whom were seeing and touching a rugby ball for the first time in their life.
" The decision taken by the TTOC to expand Olympic day into a Olympic type festival gave NSOs a chance to expose their respective sports to a new audience. I am happy that we (TTRFU) accepted the invite. It was a real pleasure watching children enjoy their introduction to the non contact form of the game."
Karl Muckette, the TTRFU assistant secretary was responsbile for conducting the rugby activity.He also expressed satisfaction with the reception rugby received.
