Collingwood and Robert Bateman to Meet in Boys AAA Final

A new champion will be crowned this year, perennial winners Shawnigan Lake and St. George’s were both defeated in the semis. Not many people had this on their score card at the beginning of the season. Oak Bay in 2018 were the last team to break the St. George’s/Shawnigan dominance in the tournament. The St. George’s v Robert Bateman match was close 14-13 but the Collingwood match against Shawnigan broke open in the 2nd half after an even 14-14 half time score, Collingwood owned the second half and put up a 43-14 scoreline. The final is on Saturday.

In the girls XVs semis it was #1 Yale defeating DW Poppy 33-20 and #2 Shawnigan Lake defeating GP Vanier 18-14. In boys AA semis it was Charles Tupper defeating RA McMath 36-14, the score for the DW Poppy vs Argyle match wasn’t posted at time of writing. The BCSS results page has the latest updates.
