BCRU PREMIERSHIP FINALS
CW’s Senior Women’s team will play in their second BC Provincial final in their short six-year history, on Saturday. In their inaugural season CW Premier women were successful in winning the championship in an exciting game vs cross-town rival, Westshore. Flash forward to 2022 and much has...
Cometh the Hour
……………….Cometh the Man During the past decade, since the club’s last BC Championship in 2011, CW has had a great trot with #10’s. There has been ‘Maestro’ Monro, ‘Ice Man’ Povey, Graf, Buckley, Hall F. and Hall J., and Crossland. In 2014, Graf slotted a field goal to salvage retention rather...
And Then There Were Two!
Saturday last saw the Premier Men leave a damp, miserable Victoria for a grey, chilly, and eventual brilliant, sunny, in more ways than won, Jericho Park. The affair did not commence favourably for the Visitors with Ravens having twelve points on the board within ten minutes from tries by...
MAY THE 16TH BE WITH YOU!
CW’s Premier Men cross the Pond to take on UBCOB Ravens tomorrow at Jericho Beach Park. These two teams met three weeks back, with the Ravens coming away with a 38 – 31 victory. The Tricolours gave that one up with error and know that this match should have been at The House of Windsor. ...

Monday's Musings
87 POINTS AS PREMS PROGRESS Our first game report for Monday comes from Vancouver. On Saturday, King Kyle and his Merry Men set out on a Monumental Mission to take on #1 seed, Bayside RFC. Despite a late season slump, the boys had scraped in at #8. Might I suggest they...
Go BIG or Go Home - Playoffs Begin
(Photo - John Richardson) Tomorrow, three CW teams will take to the field in playoff action. The Men’s Div.1 have mustered the best configuration possible to go on the road to face a tough Bayside squad. The Divvies will be in the hands...
Wednesday's Ruck & Maul
Recognizing Their Roots Post, Postscript To Sevens ** The pictured threesome all started their club rugby with CW, Prevost and Kratz as Minis, and Ngongo at Age Grade. ** Recently had this fascinating hypothetical. Just who would scoop the purse and win the crown of "7's Fastest Man"? ...
Monday's Musings
SEEN AT THE SEVENS CWRFC's VP, Erin and daughter, Emily. The weekend saw another Vancouver 7’s Event. For an event that Rugby Canada relies heavily upon as a revenue source, the attendance must have been very disappointing. Whatever the reason, crowds would have been 50 %, as...
Monday's Musings
PREMIER PLAYOFF PUZZLE SOLVED Last outing, the Ravens experienced the agony of defeat on the last play of the game, losing, 32 – 33 to UBC. On Saturday, they inflicted the same emotion on CW, when on the last play of the game, they accepted a ‘gift’ intercept pass for a 30m scamper under...
A Lot on the Line
The House of Windsor will witness three hard matches tomorrow. First up, we welcome after a long lapse, Kats RFC. Who can remember the last time, no doubt, Vs the Wanderers, yonks ago. CW’s Islanders, with a win, could assure home field advantage for the Playoffs in Div.3. K.O....
SATURDAY TRIPLE HEADER AT THE HOUSE
CW is expecting an overflow crowd at their triple header this Saturday. The action commences at 11:30 a.m. when the Third Div., Islanders play Vancouver Kats with the outcome affecting their playoff position. Curtain-raiser, number 2 is also a playoff determiner between League-leading,...
Monday's Musings
Olly and Louise, Johnny Shepherd Award Awards and Other Things On Saturday last, CW Rugby celebrated the season to date by recognizing those players who either by their coaches or their peers, were adjudged recipients of various Club Perpetual Awards. The “season” such as it has...
Bubbles Burst With A Bang!
It was a day when the realities of rugby reared their head! Italy d. Wales, Caps won a pair at Klahanie and the Divvies got a clinic at Windsor Castle. We will briefly cover the last of these debacles and a note or two about the remainder. Our Premier Women escaped with not much pride intact...
Precursor to Saturday
CWRFC will be pushed to its very limits this weekend. Premier Men & Women travel to Vancouver Capilanos, Men & Women Div.1’s will be at Home against Bayside and Men’s Div.3 are on the road to Abbotsford – a full bill! With three of these five teams atop their Leagues, this Saturday could be...
PREMIER TEAMS ATOP THE TABLES
Saturday last saw CW Women’s Prems keep pace with their male counterparts, cross-town action, when they defeated Capilanos 56 – 10. CW Women’s rugby embraced their Alumni Day on Saturday, kicking off against UBC in Div.1 action. The UBC program is a strong one with Div. 1 players...
ALUMNI SATURDAY
This weekend marks the CWRFC Women’s program's first ever Alumni Day. With plenty of action scheduled for both teams and members of the BC Champs in 2016 slated to be present, as well as athletes from the 90's team, the occasion promises to be epic! What a legacy to behold. Currently our...
Wednesday's Ruck & Maul
Jesse Neilson in support Vs Capilanos. WOMEN’S ALUMNI DAY Have heard there will be Alumni a-plenty on hand at the House for this event on Saturday. Coming from near and far, ladies who have been part of this rapid growth over the past six years, armed with tales from days of yore. Just a...
Two Out Of Three Ain’t Bad
The Future Awaits The Train A great day for rugby saw The Park gradually fill with fans, much to the delight of ‘Bogie’ whose task it was to pass the hat amongst the students!! The proceedings commenced with a packed deck of 23 ‘Islanders Rolling Subs’, minus The Don, conspicuous by his...
Story Lines A-Plenty
Tomorrow will be a classic matchup with what appears to be the two best Premier teams on the Island, with the Hosts, so far, putting down some serious challenges to what is the best on the Mainland. The Gerwing Shield is also at stake. It was first played for in September, 2019. On that date,...
RECORD REMAINS INTACT - BARELY
(Crediit, Mark Bryant - BCRN) By 2:30, the heavens had opened. As with the pre-game prediction, “inclement weather and home field” were factors. In my opinion, it was more how the boys wearing White played, fighting for every inch before capitulating, narrowly, 23 – 15. It was...
