Player Spotlight from the Quarter-Finals: Emily Findlay – Photos by Sideline Photos
I admit it, it was a Sunday, the quarter-finals were just over, it was a beautiful day out, I wasn’t motivated to post a story today. But then local Victoria photographer Phillip Kristiansen from sidelinephotos.ca reached out and sent me his photo gallery of the Westshore v CW match with permission to use photos on the site. I saw the sequence of photos below and wow, great shots Phillip, but who is that player? Emily Findlay I was told by Westshore sources. Mostyn Findlay’s younger sister! How many brothers/sisters were playing Premier rugby yesterday for separate clubs? Those who follows the BC Premier know that Mostyn plays for James Bay and has been a fixture in the BC Premier for a number of years, and an accomplished 7s player as well.
BC Rugby Weekend of April 25th 2026
BC Premier Quarter-Finals Rosters & Results: Capilano Edged by JBAA, UVic Defeat Westshore – Women’s Premier CW Fall to Westshore
The quarter-final results are in and the favourites won most of the matches. UVic upset higher ranked Westshore in men’s Premier but with the Cooper Coats factor we had predicted that upset. The Bays had a very close match with Capilano as the Caps raised their game for their final match of the season. In women’s Premier, Westshore put in a strong home field performance and glided past CW, earning them a trip to Meralomas for the semi-finals. In men’s and women’s Div 1 all the higher ranked home teams claimed victory and move on to the semi-finals. That pattern held true right down to Div 2 and Div 3.
Pacific Four 2026 – Canada v USA
Canada Defeat USA 50-12 Behind Dominant Scrum Performance
There’s no doubt Canada’s scrum set the platform for a dominant performance by Canada. The tight five of Brittany Kassil, Emily Tuttosi, DaLeaka Menin, Julia Omokhuale, Laetitia Royer deserve accolades in this win. Sophie de Goede is returning to her Player of the Year form and #8 is definitely her position. Taylor Perry floated some beautiful passes out to the wing to enable tries by Aurora Bowie and Asia Hogan-Rochester. Hogan-Rochester scored a try in each game of the series and is a star-level player in both XVs and 7s. Alex Tessier was solid throughout, leading as captain. Canada fell behind early but didn’t panic and after Sophie de Goede scored Canada’s first try at the 22′ mark, it was all Canada after that.
