The preliminary fixture list for the 2015/16 Ghana Rugby Club Championship (GRCC) has been announced.
Announcing the fixture, Mr. Herbert Mensah, President of the Ghana Rugby Football Union (GRFU) said, “The 2014/15 Rugby Club Championship in Ghana was a major step towards building the capacities and awareness of Rugby in Ghana and we believe that the 2015/16 tournament will take the previous successes to new heights.”
The 2015/16 battle for top honours will be on a pool basis with six teams from the Greater Accra Region (Pool A) who will compete for semifinal spots while four teams from CentWest (Pool B) will do same.
The tournament will kick off for Round 1 on 7 November 2015 ending on 5 December 2015. The Round 2 matches would be played from 9 January 2016 to 6 February 2016.
The semifinals are scheduled for 20 February 2016 followed by the finals and 3d Place Playoff on 27 February 2016.
“The 2015 Rugby World Cup is about to start in the United Kingdom and we believe that it will inspire the Ghana Rugby Family to greater heights,” Mr. Mensah said.

Mr. Mensah extended his appreciation to the companies that supported last year’s tournament including Accra Breweries, Voltic, Vodafone and Zen Petroleum and hoped that they and other corporates organisations will support this year’s Ghana Rugby tournament to develop the sport in Ghana.
“The development of sport and indeed our youth is strangled due to lack of support from Government and we indeed need the support of our corporate bodies. Rugby is about instilling the values of integrity, passion, teamwork, discipline and respect in our youth,” Mr. Mensah said.
