Buckley Boots Boys To Victory
After trailing The Loma for most of the game and playing with fourteen men from midway through the first half, the Tricolor overcame a huge hurdle to come away from Connaught with a maximum, five competition points. Captain, Matt Buckley who has "shared" the kicking duties this season, potted...
Ravens Review
The Ravens kicked it up a notch last Saturday when they pasted their cross-town rivals, the Lomas 49 - 0, serving notice to all and sundry that they are a squad to be reckoned with this season. The Ravens and Ceedub have had many a good battle over the years, often with results going against...
Clubhouse Commentary
It was great to host Burnaby back at the true heart of CW Rugby, The Temple at Discovery Street. Burnaby is a spirited group that enjoys maintaining the camaraderie of the game and they were genuinely happy to be back at the club. Good to see some of the local diehards in attendance also as we...

Visitors "Pinch" CDI Opener
Rhys (The Caboose) Jones on the rampage Vs Caps. CW arrived at Klahanie Cauldron rather late on Saturday last, after dodging downtown Vancouver traffic. Following a brief warm up it was “game on”. Conditions and the weather were favorable after a week of rain. A good mix of forward and...
Around The League
The BCRU Premiership League gets underway this afternoon. Let's start with CW. The Tricolors travel to Klahanie to take on the Caps, always tough at home. Caps had a tough game last week last week with a narrow two point loss to Burnaby. CW is slowly mustering the troops. There is a hint...
Unsung Hero - On The Field
Cometh the hour, cometh the man. In what has been a particularly rocky start to the season, certain individuals have stood out. Over the next couple of weeks, we will recognize some of these "Unsung Heroes". The first is Gord Kehoe. Gord's hometown is Alliston, Ontario, where he entered...
Numbers Belie Tale Of The Tape
Excitement is in the rugby air as another CDI season kicks off. The state of the CW Nation appears hale with 58 senior men registered. These numbers are every bit as healthy as the past three seasons, yet it is a problem that the club is having to field two senior teams. CW is struggling to...
Fruitless Trek Crosstown
In horrendous weather conditions, CW dropped a pair of results to James Bay yesterday. The Ones found themselves down 10 - 18 at the interval and failed to make any inroads in the second stanza, losing 17 - 33. The Prems had a plot that could have and some might say, should have, succeeded...
Old School Values Come To The Fore
At practise last night an oleo of talent worked hard, ranging The Park. Players will need to exhibit the value of selflessness before the starting XV is jig-sawed to take the pitch on Saturday. Loyalty to the Tricolor and pride of performance will be much needed values as players will...

Students School Hosts
A case of "all tied up and nowhere to go" UVic visited Windsor Park yesterday and gave a clinic to the Hosts, winning the curtain-raiser 53 - 0 and taking the main game 45 - 10. "Scores perhaps did not accurately reflect the extended periods of possession by CW. Unfortunately, The...
Blue Collar Bunch Take Over
This Saturday, Doug Tate brings a solid group of Vikes to Windsor Park. The Vikes appear to be a stronger combination on paper than that XV that took JBA apart last week. It is a group that could include as many five or six "grads" from CW's Junior and Mini ranks however, it is just a duet,...
B.C. Youth Sevens Program

Recapping The Weekend
Scotty ('The Bus') Franklin, on the rampage at Gordon Head. Relishing his return to #8, Scott had a solid game, being named MoM. (Game photos posted - credits, Ron Willems.) The two matches at Gordon Head produced somewhat stereotyped results, with CW opening up big leads and the home...

Sevens Weekend Winds Up

CRC's Resume Tomorrow
Clubmates from last season, Burger and Barkwill did battle on Friday. The Canadian Regional Championships come back to Westhills Stadium tomorrow when the B.C. Bears play The (Atlantic) Rock at 4:30 p.m. A casual fan wonders just how Rugby Canada (or whomever), could sanction a...
