Men's Reserve Div
Monday's Musings
Flukey photo- the writer's M-o-M caught in the same frame - Braddock & Fraser! A good season ends in hard-fought contest. Being the last game report of the season, the writer may just become a little verbose! UBC had been bushwhacked on their last visit to Windsor and they opened with...
Semis Visit House of Windsor
El Capitano in action! Saturday, 2:45 p.m. will see a re-match between UBC and CW. Last time around The Birds opened a good lead 22 – 11 and allowed the home side to sneak back into it, compliments of a good try from Moor and a perfect Ice diagonal to The Magician, enabling Barkwill to score...
Wednesday's Ruck & Maul
Youthful flyer, Josiah Morra. Seen at Divvies game last Saturday, Lucas Hammond and Mike Fuli, Captain Ilnicki – wow. Great to see Riles up and about after his major heart surgery. It would seem that former Tricolor, Lucas, has put his studies on hold once again for his rugby career and it...
CW Take a Brace - Ones Move On
As predicted, Cowichan Piggy fans were in for a treat. Hats off to Tricolour and CRFC Women, scoring thirteen tries in all and the visiting CW, managed to beat the bonus point differential, winning 44 – 36. Most unfortunately, CW have missed the playoffs, the final being adjudged by many...
First Div Goes Strong
The Divvies have announced their selection for their match tomorrow. Please note yet ANOTHER start time alteration!! Kick-off - 1:30 p.m. Kyle Hohert will lead the team and surrounding him in the forward pack are; Damon Adams, Brian Kim and Grant Baird as the FRF. Kyle's locking partner will...
Game Day Dispensation
The Competition Committee of the BCRU have as a rule; that clubs with both Premier and Premier Reserve teams in playoffs had to schedule the Reserve game for Sunday. It has come to our attention that a dispensation has been permitted for UBCOB and the First Divvy game will now be forwarded...
Plunge Into Playoffs
The Playoff Picture for the season is now complete and CW has both senior men's teams involved. The Firsts will take to the field at Windsor this coming Sunday, (23rd) at 1:00 p.m. against the visiting UBCOB Ravens, a team they tied just two week's back. The memories of this game must lie sour...
They Are the Champions!
Can’t think of enough congratulatory comments for our NSMT 7’s – winners in Singapore this weekend. Just sooooo happy for the core group who have laboured so hard for so long to finally reach this pinnacle, surrounded by youngsters to carry the torch and some pace in the mix to boot and this...

Visitors Throw Spanner in the Works at Windsor! Saturday's Game Reports start with a few words of thanks;Thanks to UBCOB manager, getting to the ferry at 6:00 a.m. to get tickets to ensure the boys would be on the nine after huge ferry backlogs. Hats off to gatekeeper, Peter Kilshaw -...
Tasty Offering at the House of Windsor
Deemed "high" this season! The third and final of the season’s triple-headers will take place tomorrow at Windsor, with the first encounter commencing at 11:00 a.m. Westshore Women have handed two lop-sided lacings on CW’s B.C. Champs this season and although tomorrow will be closer it...

Rogie's Road Warriors Saturday past saw all three of CW’s senior teams on the road to Klahanie, never an easy venue. Arrived just prior to the half of the women’s match with CW ahead 5 -3 and mounting an attack. A pleasant surprise for this pundit, given prognostications based on, last week....
From the Sidelines
'The Magician' does his thing! I kick off today with a “scribe to scribe" commentary. Read BCRN’s Capilano game report Vs JBAA from last Saturday during the week. Writer, John Langley has been a player and diligent volunteer with Caps for a long time. I respect John and enjoy his reports which...
Wednesday's Ruck & Maul
The countenance of a happy man! The Don, Raymondo and Ruggernut share a post-game laugh. Ray undergoes knee surgery this week and we wish him luck for a successful operation and speedy recovery. CW travels to Klahanie with three senior teams this Saturday. There will be room on the bus...
Barkwill Bags Hat Trick
Schellie at work! Watching the Braves makes the writer wax nostalgic, harking back to coaching an undefeated Braves team in 1976, containing names such as Gary Hirayama, Hank Edmunds, Graham Taylor, Don Carson, Kane Straith, Jim Burnham, Ian Bousfield, Billy Collins, Peter Bull,...
Titlists in Town - Consecutive Tripleheader
Premier Women open the bill against Capilano, a team they leap-frogged in the standings last week. Our women have set their sights on the playoffs, so this will be another must-win. Despite missing some members last week, the team performance was meritorious with Paquin leading the way. A...

SATURDAY IN REVIEW Paquin - a masterful game. CW Premier Women were great value on Saturday for their 39 – 19 win, minus a number of players. It was 17 – 7 at the half when Britt Waters excused herself to go coach the Jess Nelson led Vikes to the National Unis 7’s Championship. Congrats...
Triple Header at The House
Saturday’s action kicks off at 11:15 a.m. when The Tricolour ladies face Burnaby. Two weeks back, these two teams had a doozy at Burnaby, with CW coming on late, from behind to get the W. Ne’er-the-less, Burnaby earned another bonus point to top the heap with eight. Tomorrow, CW will be minus a...
The Sage Reports
This week we welcome The Sage back for his always, different perspective of the game. Div One: Tries: Brendan Gerhardt, Kyle Hohert, Marcus Hall and Grant Baird. Goals – Gerhardt – 1 pen., 4 conv. There were two main story lines in this match. Firstly, a full eighty minutes of battle The...
Divvies Defy Pundit!
CW’s First Div boys served up a liberal dish of crow to The Ruggernut last night! Down 26 – 3 to the Norsemen, they raced back with 28 unanswered points to pinch the match – a fabulous result. Story will follow as The Sage was on the sidelines. A Day of Comebacks The ladies went ahead at...

Tricolour Tripleheader
Seattle Women, in second place in the Premiership League proved to be a real hurdle to their hosts on Saturday. Seattle opened strongly, keeping CW under huge pressure and in fact, not scoring created some visible deflation. CW managed to survive the early onslaught and work their way...
Saturday Under Preview
Not sure if our women will be serious contenders for a playoff spot or of a mere nuisance value to teams for the rest of the way. A win vs Seattle would be absolutely essential if a playoff run is to be the case, as Burnaby travels to Capilano and a five –pointer at home just might put a semis...
