September finished off strong, with the Div 2 Women taking out the Nanaimo Hornets 39-29 and the Men’s Reserves narrowly missing the win on the 28th, followed by a solid day of rugby for the minis and juniors at the Mac and CW on Sunday the 29th.
At the Mac, we closed off a stellar minis training session by gathering kids at mid field, many of them wearing orange, where Tom H led a moment of reflection for the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
Following the ceremony, it was back to the pitch, with the U14 boys, followed by the U16 boys and U18 boys each taking on Westshore in successive games. Our boys had strong performances in all matches, despite being short in some areas following the previous week’s efforts in Kamloops. Many thanks to all supporters who came out and also took part in the morning’s Bacon and Eggers fundraiser and the afternoons BBQ! We can look forward to more such hosting ahead in future weekends.
Concurrent to Sunday’s matches at the Mac, our U14-U18 girls took on CW at Windsor Park. As you can see on our social media through Matt Martin’s incredible photos, our girls fought hard and left CW in the dust in all matches.
As the club continues to grow, it is awesome to watch the amount of youth we have on the pitch every weekend in all age grades. Looking ahead to this coming weekend, let’s see how many of these 200+kids and their families we can get out to watch our senior teams play on Saturday at the Mac!
In the meantime, rest up, Bears, and see you on the pitch in the days to come!
Huddy Huddy!
