Geary’s long distance love will pay off


Rugby is emerging in the Cayman Islands as a favourite for many youngsters because it has an excellent programme promoting it in schools.


James Geary is a product of that energy. The John Gray High School pupil has just turned 17. A devout Christian, he’s only been playing seriously a year but already believes he’ll pursue it as a career.

“I played American football in Miami when I lived there and I also play football for Bodden Town U–19s but I like rugby best,” he says. “I love the sport and the fitness aspect. It’s a positive way for me to tell people about God too and I just love the team work. I like the discipline of rugby, the tackling, everything. It helps shape you to be a good person. I’m a really aggressive guy on the field. And I love the speed, no protection so if you don’t have no body strength, don’t play.”

He attends Frank Sound Church of God where he lives with his grandparents. His parents, Jasmine Seymour and Desmond Geary, live in Jamaica.

“My grandmother has been to a few minutes of one of my games and says it’s really aggressive. She laughs when she watches it so I guess she must like it a bit.”

Note to Club Officials:


Dear Club Official:


The Bahamas Rugby Football Union is pleased to extend a formal invitation for your club to attend the Bahamas International Sevens Tournament the weekend of May 19 & 20, 2007. You will find full details of the tournament format and other useful information on our dedicated website at www.bahamasevens.com .



The year end tour forms part of the bedrock of rugby culture and is where legends are born (and occasionally expire). We are sure you will find a sevens tour a far easier expedition to organise than the usual rigmarole involved in mobilising a fifteens team.




The number of entrants for this year's tournament will be restricted to 16 teams so we recommend you reserve your place early.


We look forward to hosting your club in 2007. Should you require any additional information please do not hesitate to contact either Ivan Hooper – Tournament Chairman (Tel: +1 242 436 5705 / ivan@bahamasevens.com ) or Kurt Munroe – Tournament Director ( kurt@bahamasevens.com )
