Thanks to Coach Denny Rowlands for this spring season summary.

Spring Recap

It’s been a great Spring season with the club winning 11 of 20 Games (Both A & B sides), drawing once with the OL’s and losing 3 games by less that 3 points, & only 1 by more than 10.

The club saw a good number of new recruits this season – some with very promising rugby careers ahead of them as they develop and gather match playing experience. It was also pleasing to see the team come together through the year and start implementing a new system that started paying dividends as the season progressed.

I’m looking forward to getting back to competitive league matches all already, and with that in mind, the club is working to put together an enjoyable Fall schedule, and I’m working with McDowell to put together something to keep people occupied over the Summer if your either not out for 7’s, looking to do extra, or to maintain your fitness & skill levels over the summer.
