A Cost For Developing Players
CWRFC has taken considerable pride in its development programs over the past decade. Developing players does come with a price, that being in the case of The Tricolors; many of those players leave the club at a young age, their prime playing days, to go to Universities. Contrary to a...
Unsung Hero - On The Field
This week’s hero is the Captain of The Ones, Jacob “Chips” Lamb. Jacob is a hard, uncompromising man who leads by his deeds. Jacob gave away his age to CW – 33. He and his dad run Engarde Trucking Co. He is a hometown boy, becoming a rarity with the two Premier clubs in Victoria and he...

Scores From Elsewhere
CW U18's moved on to the V.I.R.U. Final with Home Field advantage next Sunday, after defeating cross town rivals, Velox. Although the final score was a little lop-sided, Coach Robinson reports it was a good tussle and Velox showed to be a much more difficult hurdle than an earlier contest. ...
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...
Same Time (of year), Different Place, Different Faces
M.I.A......Monro -retired; Thornber - UVic; Daumer - Unsung Hero; Dalsin - injured. The Meraloma will have much to prove tomorrow at Connaught against visiting CW. Last week they played James Bay tough to get within two points for a bonus point. Any team coached by Brian Erichson, featuring...

A Time To Remember
A time of Remembrance then down to business. CW U16's culminated another magic morning at The Park yesterday when they took on rivals, Velox, in a game that would determine home field advantage for the playoffs. This action had been preceded by some eighty mini rugby players aged six to...
The Ones Break Their Goose Egg
A moment to Remember was taken prior to kick off when Nanaimo Hornets visit to Windsor provided a small salve for Ceedub Ones on Saturday. In a very well played, enjoyable to watch and close match, the Tricolors eked out a 24 - 17 win. The teams traded tries in the early going and it was right...

Ardron in action! We predict his return to the #8 position will reap reward. Rugby Canada has announced the NSMT to play Georgia tomorrow. The team is; 1- Hubert Buydens, (Saskatoon Wild Oats/Manawatu Turbos) Saskatoon, SK 2- Ray Barkwill, (Niagara Wasps RFC/Ontario Blues) Niagara Falls,...
Storied Club Visits Windsor
A brief Hornet History 101! Being a Founding Father of the rejuvinated (1968), version of the Hornets, The Ruggernut actually has some credibility in reporting this story! Nanaimo Hornets (originally, The Rovers), were instituted in 1888 when the Free Press reports; “The match between the...

CW has learned that "newly acquired" prop, DJ Sears has been called up to the National Team squad for the European Tour. Djustice will have the company of another "youngster", Jake Ilnicki who showed some game when he entered the fray late, against The Maori. These men, (19-22 years of age)...
Decisions, Decisions...Mistakes, Mistakes!
Saturday at Windsor saw no joy in Mudville, with the season’s best home crowd leaving the park somewhat frustrated after watching the boys leave competition points on the plate, dropping a 5 – 7 decision to The Ravens. The Raven opened with pressure and posted first points after an...
Where Did It Go??
Looking for the game? We were too! The Canada Vs N.Z. Maori match will be aired live on Ch #5 and #225 (HD), TOMORROW at 10:00 a.m. Rugby Canada has used its perogative of NOT announcing the lineup until tomorrow as this is not a certified "International Test"! One wonders what difference...
Young Guns Lead The Way
A feast of rugby takes place tomorrow. It all starts at 10:00 a.m. PST when Canada plays NZ Maori in Toronto. Unfortunately, at this late stage, we are still unable to procure a starting XV for the Maple Leafs but we know for sure there will be some Tricolor connections involved. We wish...
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...
They Came - They Conquered.
Visiting Burnaby Lake had lots to prove to themselves, rather than the locally assembled sparse crowd, including a large visiting contingent. There was a time when the House of Windsor was an afeared venue. This certainly has not been the case the past two weekends. In the curtain raiser...
