BC Rugby Season Resumes This Weekend: A Look at the Standings in All Divisions
The BC Rugby leagues resume this weekend, except for the Premier which restarts the following weekend, January 24th. We look at some of the races in the Div 1 to Div 3 space. In Men’s Div 1 the Vancouver Rowing Club are undefeated with 3 Island clubs in close pursuit, UVic, Westshore and Nanaimo. There was some talk of VRC returning to the Premier next season and a top Div 1 finish would back their claim. Langley who also have declared their intention of going up to Premier next season are in 12th place and will need to refocus in the 2nd half of the season. This weekend the Rowers host the winless Ravens, Langley host Capilano, UVic host Comox and Abby host Lomas.
In Women’s Div 1 Kamloops and Comox are the only undefeated teams, no matches this weekend. In Men’s Div 2 it’s Kelowna with a healthy lead, the only undefeated team. This weekend #5 Kats will host the league leaders, Richmond hosts Surrey and United hosts Chilliwack. In Women’s Div 2 it’s Chilliwack and Kelowna battling for top spot, this weekend both have byes with #6 Richmond hosting #4 VRC and #7 Ridge Meadows hosting #3 Simon Fraser. In Men’s Div 3 Burnaby and Bayside are the top 2 teams, this weekend both teams have byes with #3 Langley hosting #4 Capilano, #8 Scribes hosting #9 Kelowna and #10 Simon Fraser hosting #5 Abby.
