1WELCOME FROMTHE BRFU PRESIDENT
On behalf of the Bermuda Rugby Football Union, it is my great privilege and honour to welcome
Guadeloupe to Bermuda for the 2019 RAN Championship Final, or ‘Caribbean Cup Final’, as it has been
unofficially dubbed here in Bermuda. We are incredibly grateful to Guadeloupe for the dedication andcommitment they have shown us in simply being here, especially given the uncertainty of Hurricane
Humberto, which saw their 30-strong squad stranded in Miami whilst the storm raged past us.
This game represents a milestone of real significance to both teams. Both Bermuda and Guadeloupe havefought hard for the opportunity to face one another in today’s final and their efforts are a testament to thecore values of rugby. Both teams have shown an unparalleled level of determination and respect for thegame, as well as the opposition they have met along the way. They have shown discipline throughout
their journey and solidarity amongst their teammates to get the job done under pressure. They havedemonstrated integrity, morale and have been courageous in their campaigns, but above all, it has been
their passion which has ultimately carried them here…to today’s final.
I would also like to recognize all of our wonderful sponsors and supporters that have helped to bringthis event together. It is testament to Bermuda’s resilience that we are able to host a Championship final
less than two days after a Category 3 hurricane grazed our shores. I would like to take this opportunity tothank everyone, from our Government services who helped to keep the airport and roads open, to ourdedicated partners at National Stadium who ensured the pitch would be ready to us, through to ourincredible suppliers and supporters who did not skip a beat in assisting us to prepare the venue forgame day. Win or lose, this is a proud day for Bermuda and for Guadeloupe.
Au nom de l’association du rugby et football des Bermudes , c’est un grand privilège et un honneurd’accueillir La Guadeloupe aux Bermudes pour la finale du Championnat RAN 2019 des Caraïbes ou la “coupe des Caraïbes “ comme elle est appelé familièrement ici aux Bermudes . Nous sommes extrêmementreconnaissants a l’équipe de La Guadeloupe de leur engagement pour être présent ici aujourd’hui malgrél’incertitude du cyclone Humberto qui les a retenu à Miami en attente du passage de La tempête.
Ce match est un événement marquant qui a une importance pour les 2 équipes . Les Bermudes et La
Guadeloupe se sont battus très dur pour gagner le droit de s’affronter en finale aujourd’hui et leursefforts est La preuve des vrais valeurs du rugby . Les deux équipes ont montré un niveau de discipline sansprécédent du jeu en vue de leur persévérance face a l’adversité qu’ils ont rencontré tout le long de leurparcours. Ils ont démontrés une intégrité tout au long de leur parcours et de la cohésion avec l’équipe
pour réaliser leur performance avec beaucoup de pression. Par-dessus tout c’est leur passion qui les a
conduit jusque ici aujourd’hui en final.
Je voudrai également remercier tout nos sponsors et supporters qui ont aider à cet événement ensemble.
Ceci est La preuve que Les Bermudes peuvent accueillir une finale championnat en moins de deux jours
après qu’ un ouragan de catégorie 3 ait braver nos côtes. Je profite de cette opportunité pour remercier
tout le monde notamment nos services public qui nous ont aider à garder l’aéroport et les routes ouverte.
