Rugby League Jamaica has announced Guardian Life Jamaica Limited, through the Guardian Group Foundation, as the main sponsor for a historic four-team tour to Canada.
On October 10, Jamaica and Canada’s men, their ‘A’ teams, Under-19s and Masters sides will meet at Terry Fox Stadium in Brampton, Ontario, for a rugby league festival. Guardian will serve as front-of-shirt sponsor for the Men’s Reggae Warriors and the U19 team.
Rugby League Jamaica’s General Secretary Adrian Hall welcomed the partnership.
“We are happy to have Guardian come on again as a main sponsor to support the teams as this tour will be significant for several reasons. Last year we met the Canadians in Kingston, powered by the insurers, and we won that game, so we want to continue winning with this push behind us. The squads have trained well, and we expect to give a good account. Massive shout out to Guardian for their continued support,” Hall said.
Guardian Life Jamaica’s President Meghon Miller-Brown said the company was proud to contribute to the team’s international campaign.
“At Guardian Life, we believe in supporting opportunities that allow Jamaicans to excel and proudly represent our country on the international stage. We are pleased to contribute $600,000 to support Jamaica’s Men’s National Rugby League team as they compete in Canada. We wish the team every success as they represent Jamaica,” she said.
The Jamaica-based members of the squad are scheduled to leave the island on October 6 for Ontario.
