Liam Chisholm in full stride. The weather has put a damper on rugby at The House and across the board this weekend. CW Women were on the hunt for their first victory over visiting UBC Thunderbirds. The women had posted a strong line-up for the match with the Lizzie Adams’ led squad featuring...

ROAD WARRIORS
Both CW men's and women's teams find themselves on the road tomorrow. Our women face another trial when they meet Burnaby at the Lake. Last week CW was 'clinic-ed' by Westshore, as was Burnaby, by Caps. Our game reporter quoted from Julia Folk as to "lessons learned and experience gained"...
Westshore Fires on All Fours
On a fine January morning, with sun peeking through brewing rain clouds, the CW Premier Women stepped on to their home turf for the first time in 2019 to play their rivals, Westshore. The game began with a “flubbed” kick-off to create the game’s first CW scrum, which saw a huge Westshore...
Hot Time at the House
Tomorrow promises hot times at the House of Windsor with three senior games. Starting at 11:15, the CW Women will face current B.C. Champs, Westhore, in what promises to be torrid action. These teams were very evenly matched in pre-season hit-outs although the combinations of...

'Chappy' Retains the Chair
Matt, in a formal role. Last night, Matt ‘The Chaplain’ Gordon was re-elected to serve the club as President for another term. Matt has given much to Ceedub since his joining some ten years back. During this time, he has been coach, player and administrator, certainly a “giver back”. This...
This Has A Nice Look To It!
Today, we call upon The Sage on the Sidelines for a take on the weekend matches. “Saturday past saw CW men on the road for the first time this season. The Lomadome was the venue, facing a Reserve team that sat atop the table, undefeated and a Premier side in the cellar. The coaches, knowing...

HUBERT HITS HALF CENTURY Today we bring readers a couple of human interest stories, going back into our archives for content for one and pilfering a great story from Rugby Canada’s website for the other. Last Saturday in Marseille, Hubert Buydens suited up in a Canadian jersey for the...
BANG!
On behalf of CW Rugby I offer the club’s heartfelt congratulations and thanks to the players and staff (including those who did not make it to Marseille but were involved in the build-up), on achieving their goal of qualifying for the 20th RWC in Japan next year. They have been a wonderful...
WEEKEND PREVIEW
Ceedub takes its act on the road this week with their first trip to the mainland where they will take on the storied Meraloma club at Connaught Park. It is a tale of opposite ends of the ladder, with CW tied for second spot and games in hand and a 6 – 0 record and Lomas as cellar-dwellers at 1 –...
Three 'Dubs' For Ceedub!
It was all CW on Saturday - Men's Premier Action. Saturday saw a hat-trick of home wins for CW rugby. Action began on this glorious sunny day with the Premier Women at 11 a.m.! The ladies fielded a very strong group against what seemed like a fledgling Comox club. Comox continued to...
WEEKEND PREVIEW
Tomorrow’s scheduled slate of four games has been reduced to three following Westshore’s forfeit in the Men’s Third Division match. The Valhallians need to fill two complete men’s teams for their trip to Nanaimo and simply put, do not have enough players for the third match. This is a plight...

CW traversed the Malahat and wended to The Pigpen on Herd Road, with two senior teams this past weekend. The Premier Women provided the curtain-raiser against the locals as the skies opened and the winds blew. The weather proved to not be a detriment to the rugby. Cowichan has had a...
Mini Rugby - Turn Back Your Clocks!
CW Action, Saturday - Herd Rd., Cowichan Piggies RFC. Premier Women 11:15 a.m. Island Fall League. CW at 3 - 2 take on the always tough Cowichan ladies at 2 - 4. CW had a great tussle with Westshore Women last Saturday, losing by a mere two points, so we can expect this match to be...
Local Derby Produces Highlight Reel Stuff
Today’s game recap is provided in length given the fact that very few CW fans seemed to (disappointingly), make the trek to the western suburbs. Deservedly, you missed a cracker – for the second week in a row! Much of what was predicted by this scribe on Friday came to pass in a classic...
In Defense of Barnard
CW will be looking to put the Barnard train back on the tracks tomorrow at Westshore (Juan de Fuca Arena). The Tricolors lost their first round game in Barnard Cup play to JBAA and tomorrow they travel to the western suburbs to take on the Valhallians, a team which defeated CW handily, almost to...
