Coastal Cup Match Pride v UVic; Premier Preseason Bays @ Westshore, Caps @ Lomas, Ravens @ Burnaby: Match Rosters
Coastal Cup
Pacific Pride v University Of Victoria @ 14:30
Referee: Derek Horton AR1: Al Humphries AR2: Jamie Roszel
Venue: MacDonald Park
Week 4 of the Coastal Cup kicks off this weekend but with UBC in France, there’s only the one match, Pride v UVic. The Pride look well ahead in the standings with 3 bonus point wins, a win this weekend would all but seal the deal for the Pride as returning champions. Speaking of UBC it looks like they lost both of their matches on Day 1 in Bordeaux, first against Bordeaux (8-16) and then Cape Town (7-24). On Saturday they’ll play the US team, Atlantic All Stars and then the Australian side from Sydney.
In this match UVic have made a few changes after defeating TWU last weekend. Most of the changes are shuffles to and from the bench but Taine Clague comes back into the roster at #8, Dylan Cleaver gets the start at inside centre, and Morgan De Nardo starts at fullback.
For the Pride, they played many of their U20 players last week against a youthful UBC squad, a match in which the Pride were dominant, 80-19. This week some of the “veteran” players return, Matt Klimchuk at #8, Spencer Cooper at tighthead, James Thiel gets the start at #10, AJ Kosemple starts on the wing.

BC Premier Preseason
It’s still preseason in the BC Premier but there’s some interesting matchups, one on the Island and two on the Mainland. This is the last weekend of Premier preseason matches with the season kicking off on October 14th. Burnaby are undefeated on the Mainland and will host the Ravens, Meraloma will host Capilano who are looking for their first win of the season.
