BLRC LIGHTHOUSE 7's Prepares for Second Leg of Series

The Burnaby Lake Lighthouse 7's Program enters the weekend with a series of games at the Vancouver 7's tournament.

Kicking this weekend of 7's Rugby off are the BLRC Lighthouse U16 boys. They are playing at the Vancouver seven a side tournament. Their game kicks off Friday afternoon at 4pm at the Brockton Oval in Stanley Park.
Coach Sanaila Dawai has been running the Boys hard at Burnaby Lake twice a week and the combination is coming along well. It should be an exciting tournament for everyone as we start to see the preparation for the 2016 Olympics take root with these kids. They will be in their prime and be experienced and '7's smart' by the time the Olympics rolls around.
This should be an afternoon not to be missed as we see our upcoming 7's players strut their stuff.

Saturday morning will see the seniors at the same venue. Defending Champions BLRC Lighthouse men's, led by captain Bruce Rauqe, will once again try to fend off challengers like Valley High, a Team stacked with national 7's Reps. They lost to this team at the Buccaneers 7's two weeks ago and will be looking for some redemption.
The Youngbucks Team tried so hard last year to win at least one tournament against BLRC Lighthouse, but to no avail. They too are in this tournament and will be looking for their own redemption. Other Teams to watch will be the South Sea Wanderers, Bayside Amabassadors, Meralomas, Abbotsford and of course hosts Vancouver Rowing Club. If you're a fan of Rugby's abbreviated code, you should be salivating by now!!!
The Women's draw looked very promising earlier on but it has taken a left turn as two teams have pulled out. BLRC Lighthouse Women is not worried about this at all as they have been preparing well for this one too. Having collected 21 points from the James Bay tournament, Mel Miyazaki and her crew look forward to adding more by the end of the day, to put some distance between them and Velox, who are sitting at 17 points.
BLRC's second Men's Team sees their first tournament this weekend, with a game on Saturday and the rest on Sunday. It should be worth the price of the ticket alone to come and watch Angus Fisher, Brandon Fairs and the ever-exciting Allan Tang light up the field with their blazing speed!!!
Come........it's time to cheer on the BLRC Lighthouse Teams at Brockton this weekend!!!
