UBCOB Ravens – November 2024
Ravens Step Up in Crunch Time Ravens 29 – UBC 10: Report by Peter MacDonald
On a cool early November day at UBC, with both teams missing some key players, it was anybody’s guess which team would prevail on the day. Initially it appeared that the Ravens would be that team as they easily mauled in two tries by the 20 minute mark and had an advantage in the sets and at the contact point. But UBC’s energy and pace of play brought them back into the game gradually and they were only down 12-3 at the half having dodged a bullet in the late stages when a UBC defender played the ball just outside his own try line while off his feet denying a likely try. He was yellow carded but the Ravens’ attack from the 5 metre line was stymied when the ball carrier Shelton was seen to make a second movement while off his feet after the tackle.

UBC Okanagan – Road to the Nationals
UBC Okanagan Make First Trip to Nationals in Ottawa – Start Fundraising Effort to Help Players with Cost
The UBCO Men’s rugby team made the Nationals for the first time, but the team must raise funds to get themselves there, as they are only minimally financially supported by the Athletics department. The trip will cost about $50k and the players will have to pay a portion of that so have reached out to the community in a fundraising effort.
