Trinidad and Tobago Rugby Football Union (TTRFU) president Leslie Figaro (white jersey) presents Sir Solomon Hochoy Cup to Harvard Club captain Claudius Butts... following 12-7 upset win over defending champions and local rugby powerhouse caribs rugby club on Saturday at Queen’s Park Savannah.
Harvard Club is the new Trinidad and Tobago Rugby Football Union (TTRFU) ruggerama champions. The Tragarete road based outfit defeated defending champions Caribs rugby club 12-7 in a hard fought tournament final on Saturday at the Queen’s Park Savannah. Last year Harvard was beaten 10-5 by Caribs in the final. Saturday’s win saw Harvard lifting the Sir Solomon Hochoy Cup for the first time in its history.
Harvard head coach Larry Mendez is under no illusions and while congratulating his players urged them to remember that the local rugby season has just started. “We want to improve. We’ve a long way to go to be the best team we can be, which is what this team wants to be. It’s a great start but we have lots of work to do if we are to build on it.” Caribs are the championship division title holders and begin the defence of their crown on Saturday when they meet arch rivals Trinidad Northern in a TTRFU Championship division fixture.
