Wednesday's Ruck & Maul
Official Club Photographer It takes numerous volunteers to keep a rugby club on the go. Ron Willems, our club photographer, was raised to the role of “official” when a local ref demanded his presence “outside the ropes”. We thought we would give Ron “official” status with his...
Long Way Home
Confronted by a Sea of Red! The CW commitment to the tackle was meritorious. A match that offered much going in, exposed some real differences on the day and by the time the mud had settled the hosts had convincingly showed their class, exposing some glaring differences between the...
Familiarity Breeds........

CW Women Road Warriors
At Windsor Park yesterday, fans’ eyes were directed with interest at the Twittersphere, bleeping out happenings at Herd Road with the club’s women’s team. At the end of the day, the results read; CW 24 d. Cowichan 17. With this win, their first on the road, the women have moved into second place...
Saturday is a Rugby Day
The “second half” opens this weekend when CW Women travel to Cowichan on Saturday. The last time these two teams met, a real contrast of styles, based on team strengths was on display. CW used their speed advantage to record the W. Since that match, Cowichan has chalked up a win...

Wednesday's Ruck & Maul
The year in review to date has been quite successful for CW, with some outstanding Junior Boys results. Our U14’s won the B.C. title; U16’s placed third and U18’s also won the crown. Our U18 girls played in a 2nd successive BC final vs a strong Abby team only losing 22-5. Our newly...
BARNARD CUP REVIEW
Still surrounded by Vikes - Crossland's magic thwarted! This game report is brought to readers by one of the club’s two Premier Elite sponsors, the Penny Farthing Pub, the other being the Carson Automotive Group. Mine host, Matt Mc Neill, has been a major sponsor for the past decade minus a...

CW Prems Win a Pair
It started as a replica of last week for CW men. Losing the toss and running “downhill”. The game was very young when J.Mo was the recipient of quick ball from Crossland, bulled his way through a tackle, juked and jiggled thirty meters for first blood. The next significant event was when...
U14's Vs Caps, B.C. Final
The U14's play Capilano Rugby @ Windsor tomorrow @ High Noon. Klahanie is under the effects of weather and Windsor is hot to trot. This is a late announcement but it should be a very good match, hopefully, well attended, thence off to UVic to support the U18's @ 2:00 p.m. Late -breaking, CW...
Another Kick of the Can
CW Prems will visit McDonald Park once again this Saturday with the hopes of completing the job this time round. It was a very even game last week which might have gone CW’s way with a quirk or two but it was not to be. This week, it is to be hoped that the boys decide their own destiny. ...
Wednesday's Ruck & Maul
Last Sunday not only were the Junior Boys in action, the U18 Girls were also on the park at Westshore. CW girls had a good contingent of players and racked up a bunch of tallies. As well, the U14 Girls were in action at Cowichan. The numbers were not as plentiful but on the day with these...
CW Women Victorious
The scoring opened in the CW vs. UBC game very early when the speedy UBC fullback received quick ball from a stolen ruck, outflanked what had been attacking players, for a sixty meter romp to the line. CW was quick to equalise when Zussman returned the compliment, alertly intercepting a UBC...

Home Team Christens New Turf
Pundit; “Well, we didn’t deserve to win that one.”….. fellow fan; “Well we didn’t deserve to lose it, either!” For CW it was that kind of game. Actually, neither team took this match by the scruff of the neck. Leading 12 – 10, late in the contest, CW had the chance but whilst the conversion...

Wednesday's Ruck & Maul
WE SHALL NOT FORGET Boys U14 Last Sunday, CW U14 Boys faced Capilanos from Vancouver at Windsor Park. A late report tells of a game which was a hard fought contest between the two teams, something which has been ongoing at age grade for a number of seasons now with mutual respect given...
Westshore Velox Visits CW
Westshore is a club that is improving with every outing and will cause a shock before too long. At the Premier level they battled the Vikes fairly close last weekend and it took CW time and a good effort to overcome them last time round. The Velox are bolstered by some new names for...
Saturday's Scores
The table was set nicely by the Tricolour Women when they defeated Cowichan 38 – 17 in the VIRU semi-final but it was UVic that enjoyed the banquet after their Norsemen thumped The Ones 57 – 0 and the Vikes won the Premier game 36 – 22. The Cowichan/CW battle was arguably, closer than the...
