Blue Collar Bunch Take Over
This Saturday, Doug Tate brings a solid group of Vikes to Windsor Park. The Vikes appear to be a stronger combination on paper than that XV that took JBA apart last week. It is a group that could include as many five or six "grads" from CW's Junior and Mini ranks however, it is just a duet,...
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...

CW Boys Make Bears Squad
Matt Buckley, Jon Morris and Clayton Thornber have been selected for the B.C. Bears team of 27 players who will contest the C.R.C.s for this season. The team is a far stronger unit than that assembled in past campaigns but still obviously devoid of players from the current B.C....
Hubert Back to N.Z.
Canada's loss has become Manawatu's gain with the news that Hubert Buydens has finally inked a pro contract. In this writer's opinion, the man that most consistently stood out in the last RWC games for Canada was Big Hubie and it seems that he has finally received just reward with a two...

CW vs Burnaby Lake - Game Report
An absolutely beautiful day with warm sunshine, blue sky and a clear view of the snow capped Northshore mountains. Warm? For the big men who toiled hard for 80 minutes, it was a blast of heat that felt like mid summer – 22 degrees with a cross field wind that made it very difficult for...

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
