The Ghana Rugby national women’s sevens rugby team, the Ghana Eagles, concluded preparations for chasing the Olympics Dream in Tunisia at the 2019 Rugby Africa Women’s Sevens Tournament that also serves as a qualifier for the 2020 Olympics Games in Tunisia.
The ladies of Ghana Rugby took part in a social tournament in Lome-Togo on Saturday 5 October 2019, with two mixed Club teams that included most of of the national squad players.
Two ladies teams from Conquerors SC played in three warm-up matches against two Togolese club teams, and won all the matches convincingly.
According to Rafatu Inusah, Ghana Rugby Board Member and Women’s Representative who led the delegation, the match exposure was invaluable, and it set the tone for what was to come in Tunisia.
“We are grateful to Togo Rugby for organizing the competition. The match exposure not only helped the coaches and teams to identify areas to be worked on, but it was an essential exercise to set the tone and mindset for Tunisia,” Inusah said.
