Burnaby Lake Women's Coaches Name Teams for the Weekend

The BLRC Women's Coaches have named two very competitive Teams to go to battle at different ends of the Lower Mainland this weekend.
Ian Trevor's Division 2 Team goes East to take on John Morgan's Ridge Meadows at Thomas Haney High School grounds and Walter Brandl takes the Premier Division west to battle defending Champions Capilanos

The Coaches were quite pleased with not only the turnout on Thursday night, but also the commitment level at practice. Practice had to be moved to the gravel field, something we have not done in a while, due to the snow that blanketed Burnaby on Thursday afternoon.
But the ladies, led by Katie Larson for the Prems and returnee Michelle Young for Div 2, got right into it!!! Retired stand-off Anna Schnell showed up to run the backs and they were sizzling on a cold and wet evening. Apparently all she needed to show up was a small cup of Hot Chocolate. We'll make sure both Captains come to practice with Hot Chocolate for her!!!

The line up for Div 2 will be without the loosies. But it will be a good one still
Malak Dalati anchors the loose side and the Fedewa comes in on the tight side. Krystal Steel, who will play anywhere, as long as she is on the Field, is in the middle of the Front Row this weekend. I am already feeling sorry for the opposition. Newcomers Shelby Mattin and Sandy Smith will complete the scrum behind them.
The backs are led at scrum half by a deceptively fast Anh Tran and she will be passing the ball to a 'just as fast' if not faster Santos.......ANGEL Santos. MJ Galbraith and Captain Michelle Young will be looking to 'crash' through the middle but will be passing to Cst. Suelyn Wirth for some Law enforcement on the left wing or fast Abby Tacal for some speedy Gonzales type runs on the right. This backline is Fast and Furious!!!.....awesome. At Fullback is the ever reliable Devon Luca who reads the game better than she reads 'The Communist Manifesto'

The Prems - well they are the Prems....nuff said!!
Front Row: Corinne Jacobsen Lauren Tagg Kim Donaldson, not necessarily in that order but lethal nonetheless. They have all represented our fair Country. Kim and Corinne went to England for the World Cup, Lauren went to the Bahamas and dipped in the Ocean for the first time......while also playing Rugby. Some girls have all the Luck.
Brenna Glover and captain Katie Larson will complete and manage the Engine Room. Laura Harmse, who warms up before every warm up, will lead an aggresive and furious pack of loosies and will be backed up by hungry ball hunters Kevenza Murphy and Debb Capps. Did I mention that they are a furious and hungry pack of hunters...... of the Rugby ball? Sugawara is back, .....also nuff said. Dr. Gallo is at 10, retirement is way behind her now. Kary Steele is on the inside and Melissa Miyazaki is on the outside. Don't get these three angry - they can kill you by just staring at you!!
The wings are patrolled by Jean Lehtinen on the left and Erin 'vegasvegasvegas' Jang on the right. Do not be fooled by their smile, they will run past you while you're thinking of an appopriate response.
Lindsay Bernrot will be relied on to stop anything that survived Kary's tackle. She completes the line up at Fullback
These guys killed Meralomas 70 - 13 two weeks ago. They are awesome. Drop everything and come and watch them!!!
