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"...
You Bring 'em; We Chip 'em!

Meet Our Sponsors - Vital Health Pharmacy
Vital Pharmacy is a recent CW sponsor, so it was with interest that we recently interviewed one of the owners, Don Swainson. CW: What is Vital Health Pharmacy all about? "Vital Health Pharmacy is a new kind of pharmacy, specializing in health needs solely (versus being a "general...
Christmas Spirit
Pictured, The Prez & long time CW stalwart, Dick Hales. A tip of the Ruggernut's cap to club dudes giving back to our community. Firstly, to those who helped "fill the Salvation Army bell", undertaking their shift under chilly conditions - great stuff. Then it was at dark in the Oak...
C.W. U16's, B.C. Champs
What a day for the two top U.16 sides in the province to clash for the provincial title! The wind threatened to cancel the ferries and the rain threatened to soak the field but neither came between this exchange between Castaway-Wanderers from Victoria and Bayside Sharks of Surrey....

A Goal Setter
CW congratulates NSMT and London Irish's, Jebb Sinclair on recognition for his hard work in the Irish's tough loss to Leicester last weekend. Jebb toiled at Ceedub, coming from the east, for a couple of seasons as a "youngster" and always was confident that he would "make it". He backed...

Grey Cup Curtain Raisers
Rugby fans who took time to watch the two matches at Windsor Park on Sunday, winding up the V.I.R.U. Juniors’ (U16 & U18) season were treated to some excellent rugby. The action started with CW playing some champagne rugby for the assembled throng, taking on the Velox club in U16...
Second Stanza Demise
UVic came up with two, rather comprehensive victories over Ceedub, this past weekend. The Norsemen shellacked The Ones, certainly the biggest hiding in distant memory. Hopefully, in the New Year, the hackneyed; “it can only get better”, will actually apply. The Premiers had the score at 7 –...

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. ...
