The Uprising Beach Resort will be investing to upgrade its international size rugby field to a huge complex to cater for the various sports in the country.

Resort General Manager, James Pridegeon says this will enable the nation to attract a number of international teams.

“Putting in a four hundred square metres high performance gym, 25 metres lap pool, a multi-purpose court to cater for basketball and netball. We don’t want to single ourselves out as a destination for sports where you go to play rugby, we’d like to embrace everything.”
