BC Rugby League Standings – April 5th 2025
BC Rugby League Standings for Men’s Premier, Div 1, Div 2, Div 3, Women’s Premier, Div 1, Div 2
Thanks to Peter Muirhead who put together these league tables for the weekend of April 5th 2025. This is the final standings with the playoffs set for next weekend April 12th. There may be slight variations as the competition committee hasn’t finalized all matches, for example, Women’s Div 1, JBAA to host #6 but as Bayside has reportedly opted out of the playoffs, United may fill the gap, otherwise JBAA may get a first round bye. Check the BCRU fixtures page for updates on the weekend schedule.

BC Premier Final Make-Up Weekend Results: Lomas Defeat Burnaby, UBC Edge CW, Vikes Default to Caps
It was the final weekend before the playoffs and now the playoff picture is set. In a surprising turn, UVic defaulted their match at Capilano and we understand Caps will be awarded 5 points. The quarter-finals look to be CW @ Lomas and Caps @ Westshore with Ravens and UBC getting a first round bye. We’ll wait for any final BCRU ruling on the UVic default before calling it official.
