Jamaica Rugby Sevens male team came out with a silver medal at the Central America and Caribbean Games in El Salvador, after a 28-7 defeat by Colombia in the final.
This was the second medal for the team, which is otherwise known as the ‘Crocs’, in the championships - Ashley McKenzie won silver in the men’s Judo competition. The Colombians did, however, outplay the Jamaicans in the final quarter to win the match quite comfortably.
Jamaica struck first in the match after Mikel Facey scored a simple enough try in the fifth minute of the match, before the Colombians levelled the scoring in the final minute before of the first half. Meanwhile, the Jamaican female team were left empty- handed as they went down 10-5 to Venezuela in their bronze medal match.
Colombia also won the gold medal after defeating Mexico 15-7 in the final.
