BC Rugby’s Provincial Regional Championships Commence on Friday at UBC
BCRU Press Release
posted June 30 2010
Over 400 Age Grade regional Athletes will converge on UBC this Friday to participate in the 10th edition of the Provincial Regional Championships. With the U17 Women competing at the BC Summer Games in Langley in late July, just three Age Groups will contend for the Championships and places on BC Provincial team Programs.
The U18 Men’s Division sees the Tide, Tsunami, Vancouver, Fraser Valley and Thompson Okanagan vie for the medals. This group has been dominated by Vancouver and the Fraser Valley in recent years, but the competition looks far more equitable and it will be interesting to see the Thompson Okanagan run teams close, as in 2009 under Coaches Dave Poettcker / Rich Brewer and Manager Chris Haynes.
The U19 Women’s Division has the Tide, Vancouver and Fraser Valley competing, with both Vancouver and the Tide looking to upset the Valley’s stranglehold on this event.
AT the U16 Men’s Division boasts nine teams; Vancouver North, Vancouver East, Vancouver West, the Tide, the Tsunami, Fraser Valley East, Fraser Valley West, the Cariboo and the Thompson Okanagan. Fraser Valley East will be looking to repeat as Champions once again but will likely face strong opposition from both Island teams as well as Fraser Valley West, Vancouver North and the always competitive Vancouver West.
The competition kicks off at 11.00am at Wolfson Fields at UBC and results will be posted on the BC Rugby Website on a daily basis www.bcrugby.com
The competition concludes on Sunday with placement games and finals.
On Saturday, following the PRC games, Vancouver U20s will take on the Fraser Valley U20s with a place in the Western Canada Final at stake. The kick off is set for 5.00pm.
