Trinidad and Tobago women's national rugby team whipped defending champions Cayman Islands 50-nil last evening at the Truman Bodden Stadium, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands to regain the title they last held in 2009. Winners of the North America and Caribbean Rugby Association(NACRA) 15-a-side rugby championships in 2003,2008 and 2009,T&T completed their three matches schedule in this year's tournament unbeaten.
Trinidad and Tobago Rugby Football Union(TTRFU) president Leslie Figaro said he was very happy that the Simone Andrews- Nero coached team had regained the title .
"Our women's programme has had its struggles and challenges. I give Mrs Andrews-Nero the credit for her determination ,dedication and commitment. The players have worked hard. It was unfortunate that last year the team were denied the opportunity to defend their title. It was an unfortunate and difficult decision for the TTRFU to have to make. This year we were able to participate and the team showed their mettle and class."
