2011 Spring Season is Upon us

The BC Rugby Union 2011 Spring Season starts this weekend, January 29th, with all three Men's Team visiting Meralomas for the two Clubs' Annual Palmer Cup.
Burnaby Lake Men did very very well in the first half in all three divisions, but will be going into the Spring side of things without their inpirational Head Coach Kris De Scossa, who has accepted the Head Coaching job with the Welsh National Women's Program. We wish him the very best in his new endeavour. But he has left behind a group of very motivated and inspired boys to carry the flag in his absence.
Practice has been going really well, even while some are still recovering from the Holidays Hangover and have forgotten the way to the practice field.
The Women are also doing well at practice led by the youthful Head Coach Walt Brandl and new mom Katie Larson. They will visit Connaught Park on February 5th and will take two Teams down to pit their skills against Brittany Waters and her girls. The two Premier sides have had some good games lately and the upcoming encounter should be another one to mark on the Calendar as a 'not to miss' one. They will then meet again on March 26th to settle any unfinished business before the season is over.

Let the fun begin!!!
