CW UNDER 14's MAKE A SPLASH

Posted 2010-Sep-03 13:48

The final news tidbit from a very busy summer comes to us from a parent of one of our U14 players. In August, BC took two U14 teams to Alberta - the Blues and the Golds to play matches against Ontario, Saskatchewan and Alberta. After two close losses to Ontario in round-robin play, both teams came back to defeat them to finish #1 and 2 in the Tourney. CW congratulates; Adam Walton, Jack Nyren, Dante Morandin, James Carson and Simon Gray. Also selected was Tyler McDiarmid who was unfortunately, injured and could not make the trek. This win sets the table for close competition between B.C. and Ontario in the future and perhaps a path to even greater honours. Great job, guys.

The picture has Adam and James (top row right), Dante bottom left, with Simon the ball carrier and Jack on his left. Great commraderie from the Island guys, a team that also finished Runner Up at the B.C. Summer Games.

Posted 2010-Aug-21 12:44

Evan Cambridge, Riley MacPherson, Alex Kanty, Jeff Nishima and Fergus Hall recently represented BC at the National Under 16 Championships. B.C. fielded two teams and won the silver and bronze losing two close games by a total of four points to a very good Ontario squad. Well done, guys. At the same tournament, Mike Fuailefau played for B.C. Under 18's. Ontario won the gold with B.C. being the silver medallists. Well done, Mike. CW wishes to thank the parents of these lads who foot the bills for their boys to play Rep rugby. CW monitors all potential rep players to ensure that any financial burdens can be given some assistance.

CW U17's Take on.....West Monmouth School, (Wales).

Posted 2010-Aug-05 17:32

Three years ago, CW juniors travelled to the UK and one of their matches was against the Pontypool School, losing a very close encounter. This summer revenge was the order of the day, when after showing their guests a great Canadian time, the local lads inflicted a 34 - 25 defeat on the visitors. Man-of-the-Match for CW was Steve Grdic, capably supported by Steve Thompson, Sean Kinsella, Tyson Munro, Mike Dalsin, Evan Seale, and Aden Jack. This group led a dedicated team effort which resulted in a six try output for the W. Well done guys and thanks to CW parents for being generous hosts and billeting the boys.
