BLRC 3rd Div Men 14 Richmond RFC 24
The BLRC entered the game with confidence but never adapted to the conditions and experienced Richmond squad they faced. A few greybeards on the Richmond side much better understood the wet conditions on the day and had a style of play for it. The inexperienced Blue & White side played right into their hands. Thats not to say that Richmond simply slogged out a forward battle, quite the contrary. Their #13 and #15 played highlight reel rugby all game, but with the space created by the Richmond forwards and the crafty Lance Davison at Fyhalf.
It’s week 2 of the BCRU club schedule. Here are some of the league leaders after Week 1.

The Burnaby Lake Rugby Club & UVIC Rugby community lost a dear friend on Oct 6 2021 with the tragic passing of Steve Batie. Steve was originally from Ladysmith BC and started his rugby career there before moving onto the UVIC Vikes. He represented Canada at the 2003 U21 World Cup before moving his studies to BCIT and joining the BLRC. Steve donned the Blue & White for 14 seasons, winning provincial championships and representing the BC Bears on numerous occasions including their game vs Oxford at Brockton Oval and in the BCRU 100th anniversary South American tour where he started in games vs Buenos Aires and the historic BC victory over Uruguay in Montevideo.
