“From the word go my administration and I have placed a high emphasis on training and education, and one of our first projects was indeed to qualify coaches in July 2014 after taking over the reins in June 2014.”
The award ceremony for Accra-based coaches was led by Mr Steve Noi, GRFU Board Member and Tournament Commissioner, who also qualified as a GIR Development Officer.
Noi reiterated the words of the President and said training and education will always be the foundation for the growth of Rugby in Ghana.
