Photo of the Week
Lisa Laing of the Kelowna Crows sent us this image from a Junior Boys' match last weekend, but the story behind it the real winner.  We'll let Lisa tell it in her own words.
"What a successful day of Rugby. Winter weather kicked in [in the interior] and our combined teams were so grateful to all involved in supporting our final matches moved to the Valley. Happy to report all made it home safely.
 
Would love to get a shout out to the Chilliwack Rugby Club. Not only did they scramble to accommodate our last minute request to host our final matches, but booked the filed, opened the change rooms and clubhouse, made sure there was coffee and hot chocolate and then went above and beyond and fed the teams. This act of support was the perfect finish to our Kelowna/Kamloops collaborative season. Showing us all again that rugby is not only a game but a community!"

We have a great community in our sport and it's moments like this that remind you how wonderful this Rugby family can be. 

If you have great rugby moments you would like us to share with the community, contact Euan McGhee (emcghee@bcrugby.com) or the Media department (media@bcrugby.com) and your snaps could be featured right here!
