Meraloma 6 @ Burnaby Lake 59
No surprises here, Burnaby continue at the top of the standings and subsequently look forward to a home field semi-final against either Capilano or CW. Their remaining games are against Rowers and Capilano and they’re 12 points clear of 2nd place James Bay.

Burnaby Lake 26 @ James Bay AA 21 – MacDonald Park
The legend of the downhill slope at MacDonald Park continues. The Bays were ahead 18-7 when they had the slope in the first half, Burnaby were 19-3 in the 2nd half with the slope. 37 points scored at one end, 10 at the other – it could just be coincidence – yeah right. It was a great game though, the type of game that should be played in a stadium enjoyed by a few thousand spectators, not by a few hundred at a city park. Rugby is a great spectator sport and clubs need to bring in more revenue, changes they are a comin’.

Castaway Wanderers 8 @ Burnaby Lake 18 Burnaby Lake
A satisfying win no doubt for the Burnaby tight XV as they matched a tight five with 3 national team players on it. The centre pairing of Dolesau and Gotegote seemed to be the difference in the close match. CW will be disappointed not to come away with some points but due to UVic’s loss of points for the default, they only sit 1 point back of the final playoff spot. Burnaby continue to lead the standings with a comfortable 8 point buffer over 2nd place James Bay.

UVic Vikes 26 @ Burnaby Lake 27 – Burnaby Lake
A lot closer than I expected and a positive showing by the Vikes. The last score I saw was 27-5 for Burnaby and they looked like they were going to put a whoopin on the visitors. Vikes finished with a flurry and scored three times to gain two bonus points. If the Vikes can figure out how to bottle that last 20 minutes there still could be playoff hopes for the program that hasn’t won since November. It doesn’t get easier for them however as next weekend they have two teams entered into the University 7s PLUS a game against James Bay. Burnaby will be worrying about how they lost their focus in a game that looked a comfortable win. Look forward to the match report on this one.
First of all congratulations to all the teams that played their games today, there were some lower division games postponed but all the Premier games went ahead. Good to show the rest of Canada that BC doesnt come to a stop with a little snow.
