Three young aspiring Turks and Caicos Islanders have been given the once in a lifetime opportunity to travel to Dublin Ireland to participate in the elite Leinster Rugby School of Excellence training camp courtesy of Digicel who sponsored the club with $6,000. The three young men, Lincoln Outten and Franco Mompremier, both of the Clement Howell High School on Providenciales, and Ken-James Mullins of Raymond Gardiner High School on North Caicos developed a passion for the sport of rugby through the TCI Rugby Football Union. Now they will receive professional coaching over a one-week period which will see them developing core rugby skills which they will learn to perform under challenging circumstances. “Digicel has made a serious commitment to assisting our young people to develop through education and sports,” said Ava-Dayne Fulford, head of marketing for Digicel. “This programme will not only allow these young men to walk away with invaluable training, but it will also give them exposure to the professional rugby world and also broaden their horizon to allow them to see the big picture of what they can aspire to. ” She commended the work of the TCIRFU which has been providing a nurturing environment for young men interested in the sport. TCIRFU President Keith Burant says he is pleased to team up with Digicel and looks forward to a continued partnership. The Leinster Rugby School of Excellence training camp will take place July 30-Aug. 3 at the Kings Hospital Grounds in Ireland.
