BC Rugby is delighted to announce the BC Blue and BC Gold Senior Women’s Rosters ahead of the Western Canadian Championship Series against the Rugby Alberta Wolfpack.
Thanks to funding from the Canadian Rugby Foundation, BC’s Blue and Gold Teams will host the Wolfpack for a double header at Abbotsford Rotary Stadium on May 29-31.
BC Blue and BC Gold kicked off the round-robin Championship in a scintillating curtain-raiser to the BC Bears vs. Rugby Ontario Blues Canada Cup clash at Shawnigan Lake School on Saturday, May 23. The Gold team ran out 35-20 victors over their Island rivals, meaning victory in their game against Alberta will secure the Championship. Unfortunately, there was no livestream due to a broken camera.
The action now heads to Abbotsford as BC Gold faces the Wolfpack on Friday, May 29 before the travelling Alberta team faces BC Blue on Sunday, May 31. Fixtures/kick-off times are below:
- Game 1: BC Blue 20-35 BC Gold – Shawnigan Lake School – May 23
