Hold onto your scrum caps because the women’s program is back in action, and we’ve got some thrilling updates for you! Picture this: our fall campaign kicked off with not one, but two pre-season games against Abbotsford RFC and Simon Fraser University RFC. It was like a rugby rollercoaster, with more twists and turns than a muddy field after a rainstorm.
Now, let’s talk results. Against Abbotsford, well, we’ll call it a “learning experience” as we walked away with just one loss. But when it came to Simon Fraser University, we showed them that we’re not just rugby players; we’re rugby magicians, pulling off a big win that left them scratching their heads.
Our practices started back in early August, and let me tell you, they’ve been like boot camp for unicorns – magical! We’ve welcomed some fresh faces to the team, and a few old-timers decided to dust off their boots after a brief vacation. Shoutout to those superwomen who became moms and then decided to return to the field; you’re our real MVPs!
Coaching-wise, we’re still under the expert guidance of Rob Verrelli and Trevor France. The continuity in coaching has been smoother than a perfectly executed pass. This year, we’ve decided to focus on our Division 1 team and skip the second-team shenanigans. What does that mean? More depth in positions than in a submarine, and players dancing around the field like nobody’s business.
So, as we gear up for the regular season, get ready for some more rugby magic. We’re not just chasing tries; we’re chasing dreams, both on and off the field.
Stay tuned for more action, laughs, and maybe a few accidental mudslides – it’s all part of the fun!
