My interest was recently piqued when chatting with a club member who was present at the Million Pound Game in Toronto. What on earth was the Million Pound Game? In brief; “marketing of Rugby League in Canada”! Had the Toronto Wolfpack won the match against the London Broncos, they would have...

Growing the game. Earlier this week CW took some flak from some sources for stymying the game. We would be remiss were we not to respond to such accusations. It’s good to have a whipping boy. Whipping boys around the BC Premier League include but are not exclusive to referees, import...

Stretching the point! On a personal note – always good to be at Hornets RFC, as one of the 1968 “re-founding fathers” I can usually bump into an old mate or two and on this occasion it was Bill Dryden. A good support group of Used-to-Bees was on hand as usual and Nanaimo, your ground, lights...

Further scores from the weekend...... From Coach Spenny we have the following report of the U19’s opener against JBA. This age grade has been increased from U18 to U19, not sure of the reasoning, maybe Head Office has hopes of better retention figures, we’ll see. “The weather broke to...

PUTTING THE SEASON TO BED This writer has to thank all those who dressed for the Men’s Prems this season for a job well done. One firstly thinks of the multiple-season stalwarts, Braddock, Thornber, Heppy and Ollie and a few others with not as much seniority. Then one reflects on the likes...
