Wednesday's Ruck & Maul
Burger ramapaging towards the try line! 1200 fans, a sun-drenched evening and a good game of rugby…all that was missing was a cold brew! Bedlinog, a Welsh 1st Division team, took to Windsor Park against the locals in their third game of a whirlwind Tour of Canada and Washington State. After...
Wales' Brand, LG!
Life must be good in The Valleys. We note that today's visitors to Windsor have not only made this overseas trek but have also recently, completed a new clubhouse! WOW. It will be with interest that we tap brains post-match at The Temple. We welcome our Welsh visitors and to all, have a...
Wednesday's Ruck & Maul
We kick off today's news with our best wishes to the NSWT Sevens, playing the IRB final leg tournament in Amsterdam this weekend. The ladies, looking to retain their current third place standing, find themselves in with England, Brazil and hosts, The Netherlands. We will keep tuned for...
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...
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...
Monday's Maul
Ones Finish With A Flourish (Reporter - Brent Johnston) CW 31 Lomas 5...at the half CW 48 Lomas 5...at the close. "It is never the wrong time to do the right thing". Something my family and Club have heard over the decades from me.....and with that approach the Div 1 lads, where...
Can Am Women's Cup To Canada
Hats off to our NSWT who manufactured a HUGE come from behind win today over arch rivals, U.S.A. Bolstered by some players and insight to Canada's tactics for this series, the U.S. came came out flying and soon had Canada under the gun. Their forwards were very visible in the early...
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 ...
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...
We Are Fam-i-lee!
Noticed recently, after a Mighty Thurds contest, the above father/son duo – Kyle and Greg Armstrong. It piqued our interest about this young man from Ontario, Kyle Armstrong. We nabbed Kyle for a brief interview. Kyle started playing back in Grade 9. He moved to Victoria as one of the...
Horse - trading???
This Saturday welcomes back to the House Of Windsor last year’s CW Player-Of-The-Year, Clayton “Burger” Thornber, Fergus Hall, Beau Parker, Joey Erlic, Mac Bos, Jeff Nishima, Luke McClosky, Evan Cambridge, Rhys Prevost and Morgan Tate ( and their cohorts) when the Vikes visit. These boys kicked...
Supporters' & Sponsors' Beef & Beers
Reminiscent of pre-Pavilion days of Pies & Pints Luncheons, CW will be hosting a Supporters' & Sponsors' Luncheon for Social Members and Members of the 20 x 20 Club this Saturday. You will be contacted and will need to respond to facilitate catering. Lucky Draws for CW swag will take place and...
Miracles On Ice???
This past weekend was a bye for the boys before the final push toward the playoffs. Saturday took many of the players off the pitch on onto the ice for some shinny. Oak Bay Recreation Centre was the scene of some quaility skills displayed off the pitch. Scotty Franklin proved he was a...
Player Profile - Meet Hubert Buydens
Let’s start with a “younger” Hubert’s likes and dislikes, or at least his opinions as a Saskatchewan Husky, back in University days! .......then Hubert at work! The Ruggernut recently caught up with Hubert on a B.C. ferry and “put him through his paces” and we bring...
Vale - Victor Naysmith
Thank you to all of those who helped organize and for those who attended last Friday night's celebration of Victor Naysmith's life. In particular, Ken Goodland for organizing the venue, Brent Johnston, for spreading the word and Rush Dalziel who cooked for the large crowd assembled. We...
Birthday, Numero Uno!
March is the month of CW RUGBY.COM's first birthday. Twelve months ago we reviewed our website's direction and future and made the move to use Squareflo as our provider. Long time Wanderer and NSMT player, Charlie MacLachlan, hosted our previous site for five or six years and it was...
Pre-Match Hype Comes To Fruition.
By k.o. time the rain was really living up to its prediction! That being said, hats off to Burnaby for a pitch that was in good nick under such atrocious conditions. There was good early engagement and commitment from both teams, Dolesau being particularly tightly marked. At the ten minute...
Burnaby Prevail
It was with a measure of optimism that the boys assembled at Schwartz Bay, only to find The Ones leaving the ramp, three players short on the starting XV. Unfortunately, the day on the pitch went somewhat like that! The Ones showed great resistance and resilience to a good Burnaby...
Beardos Woo Crowd!
The Annual CW Fun(d)raiser Dinner was another resoundng success. The Organizing Committee and CW Exec. wishes to thank everyone in attendance, those who donated and those who successfully bid on a number of priceless items. To those that missed it....see you next year. Highlights of...
Unsung Hero - On The Field
Clayton Daume’s youthful appearance belies his 34 years. The glint in his eyes and his infectious smile seem to be ever present whether he is talking about teaching or coaching his SMUS students; talking about or playing with the pride of his (and wife, Amanda’s) life, seven month old,...
CW Consolidates Form Over Hapless Rowers
VRC started with great élan, their forwards showing intent not to stand down from a more vaunted pack. At the first set, perhaps a portent of things to come, saw one of the front row players on the floor. In fact, CW’s FRF, mostly “International” by birth only, with Jake Ilnicki having a cap...
CW The Victors
More to come......however, CW U14 54 Vs Velox 17....
