It was a full slate of matches for CW on Saturday. For starters, The Islanders (VIRU Men’s 3rd Div.), lost to U.Vic’s Saxons, something like a measure of five tries to two. Matches then transferred to the House of Windsor which stood up to the conditions remarkably well after three...
Loaded For Bear
It was back in mid-November when The Tricolours travelled to Klahanie and had a banner outing. The Reserves squeaked by with a 24 – 23 win over Caps and the Prems stepped out with a champagne, near flawless game, 52 – 14. Mucho agua under the bridge since then but Saturday sees CW fielding...

2017 IN REVIEW
It would be most inaccurate and unfair of CW to lay any more claim than that of choice to Julia Zussman and Ray Barkwill. Both players learned the game elsewhere however, having been chosen as the most recent club for them to hang their hats, we are totally proud of their honours earned...

Speaking of Sevens

A Consumate Club Guy
Taking the blows...... Nanyak joined CW nine years ago. In that space he has been a valuable contributor to both the NSMT's VII's and XV's programs. The game has taken some toll on his body and he has had to take time out for some lengthy periods to heal. Depsite the fact he no longer seems...
