These accolades came as a direct result of the sponsorship by Sunda International and GB foods by way of their Gino brands,\u201d Mensah said.<\/p>\n<p>In messages to the sponsors from his home in London, Mensah said that the tremendous success as testified to by Nigeria and Ivory Coast as well as by the governing body, Rugby Africa, was in no small part due to the contributions in kind and in cash by Sunda International and GB Foods.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-539961\" src=\"https:\/\/ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/2-5-1024x724.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"724\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can only develop sports with corporate involvement. Rugby is a unique sport for all genders and ages, and it helps everybody. For young kids, it brings discipline for themselves and a level of respect for authority. It also develops a commitment to a recreational activity that they enjoy tremendously. Your support plays a big part in all of that,\u201d Mensah said.<\/p>\n<p>The President of Ghana Rugby added that the tri-nations tournament involving Ghana, Ivory Coast and Nigeria, has been historic and as far as he knows has never been done before.<\/p>\n<p>Mensah therefore hoped Ghana Rugby can continue to depend on the companies\u2019 support as the Union faces a hectic year.<\/p>\n<p>The Union will be taking part in the 2020 Olympic Qualifiers for both the men\u2019s and women\u2019s national sevens rugby teams as well as a crucial elimination men\u2019s fifteens match against Botswana in the newly announced Rugby Africa Cup, that will see Africa\u2019s top sixteen nations playing to be crowned the Africa Champion in 2020.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-539962\" src=\"https:\/\/ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/3-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>In a separate video message, Mr. Mensah said that Rugby Africa has introduced the Rugby Africa Cup in the place of the Gold, Silver and Bronze Cups, but the governing body has at the same time encouraged Unions to look at regional development international matches.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe hugely successful WARS Tri-Nations and Ghana-Nigeria Presidents\u2019 Cup is a first step towards giving practical expression to the guidelines from Rugby Africa. I will ensure that it does not only become a yearly event, but that it is expanded to include both men\u2019s and women\u2019s tournaments for both the fifteens and sevens formats of the game,\u201d Mensah said.<\/p>\n<p>Mensah also said the essence of what Ghana Rugby does is to build character through the teaching and exercising of the values of rugby \u2013 integrity, passion, solidarity, discipline and respect \u2013 to the youth of Ghana.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cArranging and hosting tournaments such as we have just done is part and parcel of building character, and it all requires huge support, financial and otherwise, from all our stakeholders and especially from our corporate friends such as Sunda International and GB Foods with their Gino Brands.
