FREEPORT, Grand Bahama -- The Barrhaven Scottish Rugby Football Team of Ottawa, Canada, paid a courtesy call on the Minister for Grand Bahama, The Hon. Dr. Michael Darville on Friday.

During their visit, the team presented rugby football paraphernalia to the Minister, and talked about friendship, tourism and the great relationship that has always existed between The Bahamas and Canada.

This is Barrhaven Scottish Rugby Team’s second visit to Grand Bahama – they visited last year to play against the Freeport Old Boys. This year, they played the Old Boys of Nassau on Saturday at the Freeport Rugby Club, West Settler’s Way.

In thanking the team for visiting The Bahamas, the Minister called them our adopted brothers, and said it is clear that Sports Tourism is going tremendously well.
