Rugby News
This past Wednesday, five Shawnigan Senior Rugby players were selected to represent the North Island in an All-Star 7 aside match versus the South Island. Vaughn G., Monty T., Jordan B., Robbie A., and Chris R. were all part of the victorious North Island Selects that defeated the South three trys to one in a very exciting match.
This was a fantastic experience for the boys, coached by Jeff Williams, SLS 1st XV Coach, as they played in front of a crowd of over 2000 spectators during the half time of the BC Bears versus Russian National Team. BC won that match 38-16.
In other exciting SLS Rugby news, four of our senior boys have just been selected to the Rugby Canada National Men's U17 side: Monty T., Lukas B., Robbie A., and David M. Also, Takeshi B. and Jordan B. were named to the Development XV for this age group.
This weekend we will have returning SLS grads, Brett Beukeboom, Pat Fraser, and Mackenzie Poole, as they are all attending the National U20 selection camp being held at Shawnigan. The U20's are preparing for the World Junior Trophy Event being held in May 2010 in Moscow, Russia.
Well done to all—Go Shaw!
