Crosstown Rivalry
CW travels to Juan de Fuca tomorrow to play four games. The Islanders kick off at 11:00 against UVic Saxons. Looks like the Isles have a full contingent for a second week. Well done, lads! The Women First Divvies take to the pitch against Cowshore Combo at 11:15. CW women will be looking...
A GOOD TEAM BEAT A TEAM OF GOOD 'UNS
Horton on the rampage. Top billing this week belongs to Men’s Prems. Both men’s teams came away with W’s; as it should be in the case of a Local Derby, two close score lines in hard-fought matches. The day was brilliant and the crowd was the season’s biggest. Match PHOTOS - credit...
Myriad of Matches
Tomorrow sees CW fielding five senior teams. The Men’s Islanders are slated for an early 10:00 a.m. kickoff at McDonald Park. At 11:00 a.m. the Women’s Reserves take on the visiting Comox Kickers at Windsor Park. Comox sit 1 – 1 whilst our CW ladies are 0 – 2. The Reserves get their second...
GOOD DAY FOR CW MEN, NOT SO GOOD FOR WOMEN
Chiz owned the air! CW Reserves began their match against Capilanos, allowing a rather “soft” try in the early moments. CW threatened but were repelled however it was Kanty who notched the opener, 7 – 5, CW. A mere five minutes later, Gerhardt was rewarded for what has become his...
A QUARTET OF CONTESTS
11:00 a.m. Women 1st Div. Vs Burnaby. (Windsor Park). Burnaby has played one match in this spring season resulting in a mammoth 81 points scored. The home team’s task will be formidable however the enthusiasm shown in practise has been creditable and it may not be the ‘cakewalk’ it...
Monday's Musings
A Triple Header at the House This coming Saturday at 11:00 a.m. at Windsor Park will see the meeting of two clubs seemingly going in opposite directions. An excellent women’s program in recent years at the Burnaby Rugby Club, sees them move from the Premier Division to the First Division for...
Good Day For CW Men
CW upped camp and moved to Cowichan’s Herd Rd Field last Saturday. Proceedings opened with the Women’s First Div match with Nanaimo taking the match by a 36 – 14 score. CW tries came compliments of Maelle Reid and Brooke Bazian. It was a first ever appearance in a women’s game in this league for...
AWAY FROM HOME
Today we feature the Cowichan RFC logo with respect and thanks. Despite registering just a lone win so far this season in Premier play, tomorrow’s opposition, Nanaimo Hornets will provide stellar opposition for CW’s men at Herd Rd. In the true spirit of rugby, the Piggies have made...
Wednesday's Ruck & Maul
CW's, Karen Paquin, doing the hard yards! Plenty of rugby going on all around the world but nix at Windsor Park with yet another forecast for the weekend not exactly rosy! SIX NATIONS – Expected wins by Ireland and Wales but an upset in Paris where the Jones Crew (aka England) took one on...

SEVENS SUCCESSES Despite the cancellation of many of the matches in B.C., it was a lively weekend of rugby. CW’s Premier Women travelled to UBC. The Thunderbirds have graduated to the Premier Division and are the current National XV’s University Champs. The club has mustered a very...
House of Windsor Draws a Quagmire!
From a scheduled double-header to nada. Due to terrible field cnditions, the Women's First Division game VS Burnaby has been postponed until February, 15th and the Men's Reserves game will be hosted by Cowichan at 1:00 p.m. Women's Premier Vs UBC is still "on". Good luck to both teams...

Wednesday's Ruck & Maul
Ellusive UVic Captain, James O'Neill on the scoot. CW Men have been thrown the gauntlet by Coach Manning to face the upcoming opposition which will see them either in the thick of things or on the outer looking in, by the end of February! The Chaps are back at the grindstone following...

Monday's Musings
Chiz at the mine face. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! Regardless of the weather, it was a good day for CW visiting the Hub City on Saturday. The venture opened with a men’s “Third Div.” exhibition between the two clubs. Despite being short of two full fifteen a-sides, the clubs mixed and...

Wiliams Lake Connection! CW Takes a Brace. Hi, ho, it’s off to work we go! With time running out and a Rowers’ lead, it appeared that their season's bagel would be broken. Then there was McCarthy with his "double brace" to save the day! BUT, we will get to that. Apologies for...
Roadie to Rowers
The lads take off early tomorrow to travel to Brockton Oval to take on the Rowers. The Divvies (Reserves) will be playing a 1 – 6 opponent. Obviously tough sledding for the Boatmen so far. However, despite being ahead in the standings, nothing can be taken for granted and I suspect...
Six Try Improved Effort
CW "hard men", Clay Burger, first try of the day! Two seventeen point halves gave CW a solid 34 - 7 victory over Westshore today. Clayton "Burger" Thornber celebrated his return with the opening tally providing the winning "pot" to his bidder, yours truly, The Ruggernut. It was...
Baby Steps
Welcome back, Burger! Baby steps it must be to get back into the hunt. CW faces tenth place Westshore tomorrow at the House of Windsor, k.o., 2:30. Westshore sits at eleven points with CW, barely out of the basement with eight. The forward pack has a different look again this...
Auction Nite at the Temple!
A great opportunity for supporters and friends to come & have a week's end ale, a slice of pizza and a barrel of laffs. Tomorrow afternoon at the weekly Happy Hour session, Brandon ('The Queen') Gerhardt will be hosting a Grand Player Auction for Saturday's game Vs Westshore (at Windsor). ...
Eight Try Shellacking!
The writer's M-o-M, Tomas Eton, proves hard to pull down. (Credit- Wendy Norman) Despite CW being the first and last on the score board, there was a deluge of a torrent of eight James Bay tries across the line in between! The header describes the day. It was very difficult to follow up...
Critical Clash for Castaway Wanderers
Captain Flies High! CW travels across town tomorrow to take on the Bays at MacDonald in three games. I would be remiss by omitting credit to both clubs for fielding three senior men’s teams on the same afternoon. Both clubs have had some lean patches, with the Bays being...
