Thursday Rugby Sweep!
Shawnigan Girls Continue their Winning Ways & Another Big Day for Shawnigan Boys' Rugby
The Senior Girls’ rugby team remains undefeated in league play with a convincing 43-0 win over rivals Brentwood College. The game was played under sunny skies and warm temperatures, a far cry from the cold and wet fields of Wales and England. It took the girls awhile to get going, but once in full stride they proved just too much for the Brentwood squad. Consistently strong performers, Chloe and Eva, led the team to 7 trys. Chloe’s work in the “corridors of power” helped Shawnigan retain possession while Eva provided a strong link moving the ball quickly into space. “Pickles” had her best game to date with some strong running and Emilie powered her way through a string of defenders to score a well earned try under the posts. Jules continues to be the class of the league with her dynamic running and try scoring ability. The team is beginning to play some good rugby and at this stage in the season we are pleased with their development and the hard work they are doing. Congratulations “Iron Women” on another solid performance.

Shawnigan Boys played host to GP Vanier from Courtney. The men from Shaw were dominant at all levels sweeping our guests. The Colt A's, 2nd XV, and 1st XV each won in convincing fashion.
