Garth
Cooke

Cookie
is back to play another season with CW and
he will
definitely help anchor an already tremendous
front row. Known to many as the Merit Mountain
Cowboy, Garth is a powerful and surprisingly
quick ball carrier and prolific try scorer.
Garth has played for the Crimson Tide and the
Prairie Fire in the Canadian Super league.
He has won two B.C. Premier League championships
with CW. He is a graduate of the Pacific Pride.
Garth has also played for Canada several times
and he represented Canada at the last World
Cup.

| Lastly
and an honor that Garth is most proud of is
his short listing for the Canadian Sevens team.
These are all incredible accomplishments, but
even more incredible when one considers that
all this was done without opposable thumbs.
Garth has spent two seasons in Europe playing
in both France and Italy but was forced to
return to Canada in frustration because he
could not understand the locals. Every attempt
that has been made to explain the concepts
of different “Countries” and different “languages” to
Garth have failed. So If you are speaking to
Garth about his travels, remember that as far
as Garth is concerned both Italy and France
are just west of Revelstoke and the locals
have very strange accents. Garth's hobbies
include weight lifting, avoiding employment,
eating food, country music, taking about T-Bone
and making cat sounds. Garth is a bit of a
delicate flower on the field and he will miss
a lot of games with injuries but the CW faithful
will be thrilled by every minute the Cowboy
is on the pitch. |
