Description

This week, we dive into the inspiring story of Tony Gillings, the man credited with founding rugby in Belize. After first visiting the country in the 1980s with the UK military, Tony couldn’t shake his connection to the place.

Decades later, he made a life-changing decision — quitting his job, packing up everything, and moving to Belize to introduce the sport he loved to a whole new community.

Join us as we explore Tony’s journey, the challenges of building a sport from the ground up, and how one man’s passion helped kickstart a movement that continues to grow today.
