Gameday report

The rugby season started last Saturday, September 12th with a double header at John Oliver Park. 

The Rich Lions ladies played at 11.15am and the Senior Men played at 12.45pm, both games were against the Chilliwack Crusaders.

The Senior Men started the season well. A win to get rid of the bitter taste left over from our last season. This is a young group with the average age on the field being 23, and that was brought up a couple of years by a few of the club veterans who put on their boots. Three players made their debuts for the club. Ahmad got three tries and 5 or 6 turnovers. We scored 7 tries and could easily of had 3 or 4 more. Solid defense, good running lanes and support in numbers made the difference. A bit of work to do on our scrums and lineouts but overall a lot of positives to start the season. 

Report on the ladies game to come soon.

The club needs to find gameday, team, and player sponsors for this season as our field and clubhouse costs have tripled from last year. 

We cannot cover these additional costs by increasing our player fees. 

We also have a few younger, local players who cannot afford the cost to register to play for the club, so if you can help support a player that would be much appreciated.

If you can help the club in any way please contact Andrew Walker at 604-970-2787 or at britlionspresident@gmail.com
