UBCOB Ravens – October 2025

Ravens Defend the Middle Ravens 24 – Caps 20: Report by Peter MacDonald

After two early season losses the Ravens looked like world beaters for the first 20 minutes of this game hopefully bringing a smile to Coach Taylor’s face.

A strong run from #10 Andrew Coe put Hamish Janes in at 20 minutes capping the early dominance and bringing the score to 12-0.
