Kelowna RFC "Crows Rugby"

SATURDAY'S STARTING LINE UPS

Both our teams take the pitch this weekend on the road. Women KO at 12:45 against Chilliwack and Men KO at 1:30 against Vancouver Rogues Rugby. If you're in the area, come on out and support your club and teams!

Let's bring home those Ws!! 💪

❗MARK YOUR CALENDARS❗

Saturday, March 23rd is our Alumni Day and our first home game of this half of the season. Unfortunately our Lady Crows will not be dazzling us on the pitch but the Crows will be knocking our boots off against the Axemen. Exact KO time and other info to come so keep an eye out for that in the coming days.

Come support your club and your community.

The men had a hard fought game against Langley Rugby Club this past Saturday and came out with a W. This is the first win against Langley on the road in 7 years. Well done Crows!

Special mention of Coach Barry's exceptional and professional touch flagging. Thanks for all you do, Barry!

SATURDAY'S A RUGBY DAY!

Men's starting line up for their game today against Langley Rugby Club. KO is 12:45pm so if you're in the area, go give them some support.

Lady Crows have a BYE this weekend but catch them against Chilliwack next weekend.

In honour of International Women's Day, meet our women's leadership team! We can't thank our leadership enough for all the work they do on the pitch and behind the scenes to keep our club and team running. Thanks for all you do ladies, your work does not go unoticed.

Updated senior team's game schedules!

As always, some things may be subject to change depending on weather, fields and the opposing team.

❗CLEAT DONATIONS❗
Are collecting cleats to donate to the RSS rugby program. Check your closets, trunks, drawers and bags for cleats you may have tossed aside that no longer serve you on the pitch.

❗SCORES FROM THIS WEEKEND ❗

Unfortunately both our senior teams came home without a W. The men came back with grit and vigour from trailing behind and just ran out of time. A few more minutes they would've had it in the bag.

Our women had multiple injuries and even played down a man (without noticing 💪😈) and started the third third with aggression even Travis Kelce would fear. Unfortunately the W just wasn't in their reach (again, the time thing 🙄).

We have a few weeks off from games for rest and recovery.

❗❗SUPER BOWL SQUARES NUMBERS AND NAMES ❗❗

Last number of each score will be used at half and end of game to determine who will win the half time and full time pots.

❗RYAN MAC is our halftime winner 🥳🥳❗

We are SOLD OUT!!

Thank you so much to everyone who contributed and keep your eyes peeled for the posted winners at half time and full time

Thank you Dani V for all of you help!

SATURDAY'S STARTING LINE UPS!!

Both our senior teams take to the pitch this weekend against Vancouver Rowing Club: Main (Rowers). They're the real GOATs by giving our Lady Crows a 12:45pm KO time which in turn keeps them in their beds a few blessed minutes more.
