Down Comes To Town
Down H.S. have hit the North American continent, playing N.W. Loggers. The 2ND XV won their game although the 1ST XV lost a close one by a score of 15 - 12. The Loggers fielded a team of U19's, so it is expected that tomorrow's game against the Tide U18's will be a dandy. See you at the Park...

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...

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...

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...

Miracles On Ice???

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...
