Put Yourself in this Picture. Catching a Tyee at the marvellous Langara Lodge, Haida Gwai! It does not get any better, or try a day on halibut for a change. Thanks to Rick Bourne and Langara Adentures for making this a possibility. At Open Auction, more often than not such a bucket list can...
The Bigs K.O. Saturday for CW
CW Men take their Premier and Reserve teams on the road to challenge Seattle at Magnussen Park tomorrow. By some quirk of scheduling, CW has drawn away games in succession to the Sarries, perhaps a mistake but one which costs CW some added $$ despite players paying for overnight...

CW Kicks OFF With Good Style The Tricolors travelled to the Hub City on Saturday to play the first match in the VIRU Island Div II League. The boys came back to The Temple with a 35 - 3 W under their belts. Doff of the cap to Brian Kim and Kyle Horan, named M-o-M. A good start for this...

Unfortunately, this occured on eight occasions in Rosario on the weekend! Bienvenido, lo que es un abismo! Yes, chasm rather than a mere gap. Canada NSMT suffered a rather embarrassing 54 – 21 loss to Argentina on the weekend. Just what level of representative player it was representing...
CW Scores Key Double
On Saturday CW Women faced off against Seattle for the second week in a row. Seattle had already put in a full day, leaving home early for a 1:00p.m. k.o. The issue of travel for Island teams to Seattle and vice versa does not have an easy solution. The game was very early when Zussman made...
Big Day Upcoming
Tomorrow will be a big day for CW’s three senior teams as they pit themselves against quality opponents. CW’s women will be seeking to repeat their win of last weekend when Seattle visits the House of Windsor. After watching the video of last week’s game, a number of aspects were very...

Official Club Photographer It takes numerous volunteers to keep a rugby club on the go. Ron Willems, our club photographer, was raised to the role of “official” when a local ref demanded his presence “outside the ropes”. We thought we would give Ron “official” status with his...

The Chaplain brings news of a good outing by The Mighty Thurds in the Hub City this past Sabbath. It was loss #2 but a close battle. Perhaps poor handling was a causal factor but plenty of positives from the exercise. With the “Saskatoonies” (Siz and Coop) and Queenie making their season...
R-E-S-PE-C-T
Where else but rugby? This photo has been all-over but we show it, just in case you have not seen it. There are very few other sports where two opponents have given their all in a crucial game and one, SBW, can console his opposite number, Jesse Kriel, after the NZ defeat of RSA last...

Hats off today to recipients recognised for their efforts and performances this season. The Annual Players Dinner was a night of some considerable success, with the ability to have a chuckle at ourselves, foremost, on the table. Again, recognition of junior boys and girls was a...
Ones/Thurds Hit the Road
Larsen's Back! The Ones and Thurds travel to Piggieville tomorrow to play Cowichan in a T.C. Div. 'make-up' and 3RD Div. game. This competition is already finished with the Norsemen as winners, so this match will be somewhat of an "exhibition". It is never a 'friendly' on the field at...
Players Dinner & Awards Night

Hearn, Human Wrecking Ball As CW Hits Trifector
Saturday 1ST March was a good day for the Tricolor. The ones managed a bonus point win over current semi-finalists, Rowing Club, when they added a last minute try. Rowers earned a bonus point in a well played First Div matchup. In the main game, CW let loose with an eight try barrage, headed...

It's gonna be a beaut! There will be three very BIG happenings for the Club this weekend. Firstly, on Saturday at 1:00 and 2:45 the senior men take on the Vancouver Rowing Club, an up and coming team in the BC Premier League - a club which has its First Divvies well ahead of The Tricolor...
It's That Time Again......
Blow off the winter blues at the Annual Club Fun(d)raising Dinner. The event this year will be held at Uplands Golf Club. We would ask that the CW Nation gets behind this event and purchases ticket(s) for the event, single $125, couple $200. Better yet, organize your own table of eight or...
