CW VISITS VARSITY
Tomorrow’s CDI Premiership encounter sees The Tricolors back at Wallace Field with The Ones kicking off at 1:00 and Premiership action at 2:30 p.m. Word from the training pitch is encouraging, as numbers are picking up and competition for selection is becoming more intense. The Vikes laid quite...
Students School CW
It didn’t take long on Saturday for UBC to make their mark at Windsor. Last year’s CW U18 captain, James Carson was the first to cross the line in the curtain-raiser. It then seemed like an open door policy had been adopted by the hosts as an endless parade of eight tallies proceeded, leaving...
UBC @ House of Windsor
James Carson (last season U18 captain), returns "home" on Saturday. It is a resurgent UBC program that visits Windsor tomorrow, the first game here against these two clubs in many a moon. UBC has been promoted to the CDI Premiership League and a good thing in the eyes of this pundit...
CDI Kicks OFF On Saturday
CW takes on newly promoted UBC at Windsor this Saturday. When we get the selected teams we'll make an effort to guess at what the supporters might see, although at training on Tuesday The Triclor ranks looked thin, as injuries seem to be prevalent once again. Although the potential of...
Premier Performance - Pleasant Surprise
On paper, the hosts appeared as underdogs but on the day, every player did his job, confidently and competently, providing a win of good value. The highlight was a team commitment to defense. CW opened the scoring with a penalty and the contest went twenty minutes before the first tally after...
CW Chalk Up A Pair
It was hats off to the boys for a pair of solid wins at Windsor today. The Ones set the table with a significant seven try, 43 - 12 win over James Bay. The Prems led 17 - 7 at the half, due to a good defensive stand in the final minutes. James Bay made it close at 17 - 14 but it was all CW...
Monday Musings
Braddock - another tireless performance. Director of Rugby, Brent Johnston, offers his game observations today and we have spiced them with a few other comments offered by fans. BJ: “At game’s end, I felt I had seen this same picture some twelve months ago! The match was in reach at the half,...
CW Crosstown Vs UVic., etc.
Late-breaking because we have been holding out for lineups but it seems, "no-can-do", as an early season void has forced late selections. We can tell you that the 1:00 p.m. match CW Ones Vs Norse has been rescheduled. So it's just the "main game" Vikes hosting The Tricolors @ 2:45 @...
EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION
CWRFC is announcing registration for Fall programs - mini rugby, junior boys and girls and senior men, with discounts if you register before August 31st. You can register by going HERE. ...
Our Boy In Buenos Aires
CW's, Jake Ilnicki brings a Bear's report from B.A. Hola friends, I would like to start off by saying "thank you" to everyone that made this trip possible. Day 1- The Island boys headed to Van on the 8:00 ferry. Once in Van we took a limo to the airport....our first flight was to Toronto....
Wednesday's Ruck & Maul
B.C. BEARS SUMMER LONG LIST & SOUTH AMERICA TOUR. C.W. offers special congratulations to Gord Kehoe and Jon Morris who will be travelling to Argentina this summer with the Bears. Keenan Horton was also selected but unfortunately, is in the middle of studies. Tricolor's, Kenny Goodland...
Buckley Pots Points In Cup Loss
Yesterday at Cowichan RFC's, Herd Rd Field, the table was set quite nicely in early matches between the Fraser Valley R.U. & the V.I.R.U. The Spring Tide (U20) Men, coached by Winston Stanley opened with a lop-sided victory by a score of 78 to 12. UVic's Fergus Hall led the way in the...
Burnaby Miss Trifector
CW congratulates all winning teams from yesterday's Finals. We have some measure of empathy for Burnaby Prems, losing a tight one to James Bay. Burnaby has been in the Final for the past three years, only to be turned away, yet again. It would have been their club's third big wn for the...
B.C. Finals
There will be a good crowd and considerable interest at Klahanie Park and Brockton Oval tomorrow afternoon. A huge day for Burnaby in the three ‘BIGS’ – Men’s (at both grade levels) and Women’s Finals and for UBC and Seattle in both the Springs League Divisions Finals. CW congratulates...
Players Dinner & Awards Night
This event is one of our club’s special occasions. It was an evening of celebration as we had Yak Dala and Ciaran Hearn present and were all thrilled and proud for them and their Sevens team mates’ achievements on this day, qualifying for Cup play in Glasgow. These two, plus a capped...
Tale of the Tape
The day was a magic one for rugby – sunny, firm surface, testing breezes, not to forget the “MacDonald Slope”. Fans were amassed in number and we must editorialize that it would be great to see such “home” support on a regular basis at Windsor. Two evenly matched teams promised to make this...
CW Falter At Penultimate Step
There are very few games in a season when an observer can be completely knackered just from "merely looking on" and so it was this past Saturday. The writer can only imagine just how gutted the CW boys must have been post game. Thanks to both teams for giving the contest your utmost and...
Game Day
What role will goal kicking play in today's outcome? Enjoy the match and "Go, you Tricolors!"...

Two Steps To Title
CW "travel" to MacDonald Park on Saturday to take on JBAA in one of two CDI semi finals. Both clubs have contributed heavily to the Canadian Sevens campaign, closing out in Glasgow and London. JBAA - Moonlight (c.), Mack, Braid and White; CW - Kleeberger, Fuli and Scholtz. CW wishes Canada...
Ones Road Warriors
A tip of the Ruggernut's cap to those lads on the road today, over to Lomaville to complete a mid-season obligation that had been postponed. Toughie, on an Easter weekend but a sign of good character. Best of luck, lads. PREMIER POINTS FINAL TABLE ...
Road Warriors Define Their Own destiny
Tomorrow CW goes on the road to control its own destiny for the upcoming playoffs. A determined "second half" has put the boys in a position where they are not reliant on the outcomes of other matches. This being said, it is still not a "piece of cake" as to what the playoff picture may be. ...
One More Step
“Hard earned” was predicted and hard earned it was! For much of the day CW was out of synch and a determined Loma provided testy opposition. It looked like it might be easy when Mike Fuli almost “waltzed in” on the first attack but he stepped out of bounds. A seeming, almost complacency and...
Preview of Final Home Games
Tomorrow, the Lomas visit Windsor at the end of what must seem like a nightmare to current and former players of this long and storied sports club. Their demise this year has served notice to all clubs as to how fragile our existence at the Premier level might be. It would appear...
