Senior Women
Tricolours Best Visitors
It was a good day at the House of Windsor despite the weather conditions varying from deplorable to acceptable. The table was set with a close-fought, well played, Men’s 3RD Div. match between Westshore and CW. The win went to the Visitors, something like 41 – 33, with ALL of CW’s points...

SATURDAY'S SCOREBOARD PREMIER WOMEN UPSET AT KLAHANIE This was not a Cup Final but what must have been a very satisfying upset for our ladies, posting a 39 – 19 score over the home-team, Capilanos. Caps, in second place in a league which currently looks like, Westshore and the rest, must...
Men's Premier Reserves VIRU Times Cup Final
Mike Makaroff will lead his boys to the fray at UVic tomorrow morning at 11:15 a.m. in this one. On paper, it could be argued that it should not be close, as The Norsemen have really hit their straps of late. The UVic team includes CW Jr "Grads" Carter White, Callum Mastereton, Jonas...

Ollie Gets Throttled by CW Jr Grads, Carter White, Callum Masterton & Aiden Cole! It was another valiant but losing effort against Westshore Valhallians by our ladies on Saturday. The rivalry is bitter but the respect is great. Westshore won the contest 38 – 12 to remain undefeated...
Deja vu?
Zuss; "Not on my watch!" Is this the season for The Tricolour women? CW has been building each game, somewhat reminiscent of the 2015/16 Premiership winning season. That year all four games went to Westshore – then there was that unforgettable B.C. Final! Of course there is no...

BARNARD CUP CHAMPS REPEAT!
Rain?? What rain? This fan arrived late for the altered start-time for the Divvies and for the first quarter it was close. CW edged to a 12 – 5 margin. Suddenly the switch was turned on and with sure hands assuring width of attack and superior pace the lads opened a 26 – 5 differential at...

SUCCESSFUL SELECTION RETAINED

"D.J." Back in the Fold
CW Rugby had to search long and deep to find a picture of DJ Sears-Duru in action. We go back some six years when DJ first came to the west coast as a touted junior prospect with a national team future. Djustice played 2 – 3 seasons with the Tricolours before this prediction came to fruition....

CW Pilfers A Pair At The Mac
The Skipper in full flight! CW Reserves made a rollicking start with seven or eight phases early, resulting in a try to the Captain, Makaroff and matters looked well in hand but we all know the game lasts for eighty and the Divvies were about to be exposed with some short-comings. James...
The Latest
Don't be disappointed - a few seats at the door. Make sure you've got a few twenties for some fun stuff! Shout out to Ciaran Hearn, a familiar face in a Ceedub uni. 'Hearnia' was with his winning team mates last night in their seven try to bagel, 56 - 0 victory over Chile. ...
