Player Spotlight from the Quarter-Finals: Emily Findlay – Photos by Sideline Photos
I admit it, it was a Sunday, the quarter-finals were just over, it was a beautiful day out, I wasn’t motivated to post a story today. But then local Victoria photographer Phillip Kristiansen from sidelinephotos.ca reached out and sent me his photo gallery of the Westshore v CW match with permission to use photos on the site. I saw the sequence of photos below and wow, great shots Phillip, but who is that player? Emily Findlay I was told by Westshore sources. Mostyn Findlay’s younger sister! How many brothers/sisters were playing Premier rugby yesterday for separate clubs? Those who follows the BC Premier know that Mostyn plays for James Bay and has been a fixture in the BC Premier for a number of years, and an accomplished 7s player as well.
