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 –...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Season Opens With Cup Action
This Saturday The Tricolors take to the pitch at Gordon Head against the Velox Club in the VIRU Barnard Cup opening game. 1ST DIV. kicks off at 1:00 p.m. and the Main Game is at @ 2:45 p.m. It will be an interesting contest, possibly the last between these two teams played at Gordon Head...

CW is pleased to finally announce that the BCRU electronic registration system for all players is up and running. To celebrate the occasion, the Club is announcing an Early Bird discount for ALL players, Minis to Senior who are electronically registered before September 8th. There will be...
CW Vs Meraloma First Division Game Report
Saturday, April 20, 2013 CWRFC vs Meraloma RFC. Division One: Dry fields; sunny with cloudy periods; limited wind. This match was to be another amazing chapter in the story of the CW season of bizarre injuries and playing rules that saw Canada VII’s captain Nanyak Dala start on the side...
CW vs Meraloma RFC Premiers Game Report
Saturday, April 20, 2013 CWRFC vs Meraloma RFC. 2 games Premiers: Clouded over; spit of rain towards the end of the match This game scribe was reminded of another must win game played on this pitch some years ago that went into quadruple overtime on the strength of a last ditch try by...
Not Necessarily A Very Good Day!
Saturday last saw The Tricolors visit the Shark Tank. Bayside, a club battling relegation and their plight looking even more dismal following the Ravens win over hosts, JBA, provided more than sufficient creditable opposition for the visitors. The Ones needed a win and a win of some measure...
CW Bolsters The Ranks
Coach, Hyde-Lay has announced a strong XV for Saturday's Bayside encounter. Mike Scholtz has finally completed a long injury recouperation period and will join Mike Fuailefau in the centers. Although Fuli was called up for VII's duty, he saw little playing time, so this pair should be itching...
CW Visits The Sharktank
It has been two seasons since the Sharks and The Tricolors have squared off. Bayside looked much different those days, with the likes of Haley, Pajic, VanStavern, Conkin, Roberts, Blaak, Thiel, Riordan, Henderson, La Carte, all since gone! Bayside have battled the relegation/promotion demons...
The Weekend That Was!
The curtain draws on a very interesting weekend. Firstly, congratulations to the NSMT Sevens, marginally being nutted by Samoa 7 -12 in the Plate Final at Hong Kong. The boys earned 12 MAJOR points, moving up the ladder to ninth place, vaulting the more illustrious 'Poms'. An excellent...
