B.C. Rugby
Preview of Final Home Games
Tomorrow, the Lomas visit Windsor at the end of what must seem like a nightmare to current and former players of this long and storied sports club. Their demise this year has served notice to all clubs as to how fragile our existence at the Premier level might be. It would appear...
Wednesday's, "Ruck & Maul".
Standings coming out of last Saturday, sees CW having gained one point on Caps. As has been said, "a step at a time". This coming Saturday, Caps visit MacDonald Park whilst Lomas visit the House of Windsor. Focus on the game at hand will be the order of the day. CW's D.J. Sears...
The Ones Play Spoiler
There was no sympathy offered by The Ones to UVic last Saturday, injury plight or not! Perhaps the final result did give a measure of revenge from a severe beating by the Norse back in November. The early stages ebbed and flowed but at the 25 minute mark, Henderson ran a tight line and fed...
Squads Announced
Most unfortunately, we will not see all of our grads in action on Saturday at Windsor. The biggest disappointment will be in the FRF where Thornber is injured and Bos is being kept out for the upcoming U20 RWC. Further, UVic is reported to be sporting a number of injuries. Last time these two...
Ceedub Conquers Caps
Saturday last saw the season’s biggest crowd assembled to witness the season’s best display from The Prems – a comprehensive victory over Capilanos, by a score of 52 – 12. From the kickoff, Horton grubbered a loose ball from the ruck to score wide out. From the ensuing kickoff, Armstrong...
Tough Time In Tokyo
Apologies to followers of this site for an International Time boner! Canada had some great highs at Tokyo and some frustrating lows, not the least being injuries to Dala, Hearn and Hiriyama, a yellow card to Harry Jones and a disallowed try to John Moonlight. This writer unfortunately, only...
Ceedub Vs Caps - Match Preview
Tomorrow's action promises to be fast and furious when the Capilanos visit Windsor Park. The First Div game is an "unknown" although the locals will field a couple of lads who suited up with Prems Vs Burnaby, certain to stiffen the side. Caps are flying high, sitting in third place in the race...

A Feast of 'Footie'
Saturday brings a feast of rugby to CW fans, At 1:00 p.m. at The Park, The Ones k.o. Vs high-flying Caps I's. At best, Ceedub can play a spoiler role as the chances of a final four berth are almost mathematically off the cards. Prems should be a beaut as two fairly equal squads match up in...
Pre-Match Hype Comes To Fruition.
By k.o. time the rain was really living up to its prediction! That being said, hats off to Burnaby for a pitch that was in good nick under such atrocious conditions. There was good early engagement and commitment from both teams, Dolesau being particularly tightly marked. At the ten minute...
CW Consolidates Form Over Hapless Rowers
VRC started with great élan, their forwards showing intent not to stand down from a more vaunted pack. At the first set, perhaps a portent of things to come, saw one of the front row players on the floor. In fact, CW’s FRF, mostly “International” by birth only, with Jake Ilnicki having a cap...
First Divvies Achieve Success
This one was a mere three minutes old when Rower’s #10, Recinos, spotted an opening down the blind side and showed a clean pair of heels on his 60m run to the try line. Rowers were good value and added another for a 12 – 0 lead, somewhat deflating the CW lads. At the fifteen minute mark,...
Where In The World Is Waldo?
This time five years ago Rowers made their last appearance at Windsor, against the likes of O'Toole & Sinclair. We know Sinclair has since earned a Currie Cup ring and successfullty plies his trade with London irish. O'Toole had a brief stint with the Ospreys and since has worn...
Tricolors Stifle The Bear
KEENAN HORTON WINS BCRN MAN OF THE MATCH HOODIE As the weather worsened at The Mac, things looked better for the Visitors who fielded a very strong pack, the best on paper, so far this season. The Maestro had withdrawn due to injury and Ciaran Hearn moved to the #10 spot. We are lucky at...

Merry Christmas To All
With a sack the size of this, we hope that Santa has some goodies for CW! Apart from the U16's Provincial Title, the Fall represented rather slim pickings for The Tricolor. We hope it also contains a good recovery for NSMT Sevens, off to Vegas on January, 24 - 26. With some "home town"...

C.W. U16's, B.C. Champs
