Rugby Club
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....
Hearn, Human Wrecking Ball As CW Hits Trifector
Saturday 1ST March was a good day for the Tricolor. The ones managed a bonus point win over current semi-finalists, Rowing Club, when they added a last minute try. Rowers earned a bonus point in a well played First Div matchup. In the main game, CW let loose with an eight try barrage, headed...
Sunday - Day #2 Of Weekend Marathon!
CW U14's take on Velox in the V.I.R.U. Under 14 Final on Sunday. The game is slated for Gordon Head Fields, k.o. @ 1:00 p.m. These two clubs have very good programs at this level and have had some very even and memorable tussles during the Fall and "Spring" season. The club wishes...
Where In The World Is Waldo?
This time five years ago Rowers made their last appearance at Windsor, against the likes of O'Toole & Sinclair. We know Sinclair has since earned a Currie Cup ring and successfullty plies his trade with London irish. O'Toole had a brief stint with the Ospreys and since has worn...
A CW Triple Header
It's gonna be a beaut! There will be three very BIG happenings for the Club this weekend. Firstly, on Saturday at 1:00 and 2:45 the senior men take on the Vancouver Rowing Club, an up and coming team in the BC Premier League - a club which has its First Divvies well ahead of The Tricolor...

CW U14 Mud Bowl Ends Regular Season
On Sunday Feb 23rd our U14 lads battled Velox RFC to a mucky 68-24 victory. Rain and snow did not deter either of the teams or their hardy supporters as they faced off for the last time during the regular season. CW U14 went undefeated in our season which started in September. Semi finals...
Tricolors Stifle The Bear
KEENAN HORTON WINS BCRN MAN OF THE MATCH HOODIE As the weather worsened at The Mac, things looked better for the Visitors who fielded a very strong pack, the best on paper, so far this season. The Maestro had withdrawn due to injury and Ciaran Hearn moved to the #10 spot. We are lucky at...
CW Split At MacDonald
The Curtain Raiser was a dour battle between a "middle of the comp" team and a cellar dweller. The day, being inclement, meant the struggle was to be evenly matched, with the Visitors having the likes of Middleton, DJ Sears and Chapman, leading the pack, a sniff of potential dominance in this...
Tricolors Answer The Call - Rain & Reign
News of the Tricolors day at the picturesque Stanley Park has trickled all the way to the glorious Island of Kauai!! Well, "picturesque" it was not but the chaps got the job done. 'onyas all! Great to see The Ones finally get Comp points on the board and without knowing the Prems...
It's That Time Again......
Blow off the winter blues at the Annual Club Fun(d)raising Dinner. The event this year will be held at Uplands Golf Club. We would ask that the CW Nation gets behind this event and purchases ticket(s) for the event, single $125, couple $200. Better yet, organize your own table of eight or...
Firsts Win At Windsor
Keelan Chapman on the rampage! CW 's First Divvies started the second half of the season with a good win yesterday over UBCOB Ravens. The four points earned now places the club in a positive vein and off and running for more. Ceedub trailed 7 - 8 at the half but soon got things going in...
Saturday, Saturday Night's Allright
We bring to our reader's attention the above story of a young man who suffered a catastrophic rugby injury. Judah has shown his tremendous tenacity by coming a long way with his road to recovery. His injury was such that his rugby insurance did not cover him for partial...
An Opportunity....
.........to go from a negative to a positive! CW First Divvies open their "second half" this coming Saturday at Windsor Park at 12:30 p.m., when they take on UBCOB Ravens in a make up game. CW's "first half" campaign in Ceili's Cup action can only be described as disastrous, currently...

Unsung Hero - On The Field
2014’s first Unsung Hero, on the field, needs little introduction – a warrior, respected by friend and foe, a leader and friend, Roger Robinson. In a season when Roggie probably would have preferred to focus on coaching, he has answered the bell on a number of occasions to don the cleats and...
Meet Our Sponsors - Vital Health Pharmacy
Vital Pharmacy is a recent CW sponsor, so it was with interest that we recently interviewed one of the owners, Don Swainson. CW: What is Vital Health Pharmacy all about? "Vital Health Pharmacy is a new kind of pharmacy, specializing in health needs solely (versus being a "general...
