Saturday, March 21st was our Spring Alumni Day at John Oliver Park. The Rich-Lions played the Scribes, who had a couple of our ex club players with them. The Rich-Lions welcomed back Amy with a good performance and the Juniors who have moved up performed really well,  the result was a entertaining 51 to 25 win for the Rich-Lions. 

Its hard to call our Men's team Senior because we have so many U-19 players this season but the Senior Men played against Ridge Meadows in a bottom of the table clash on Saturday. This was a much more competitive game after a couple of recent blow outs. It started with good play from both teams until an unfortunate collision between players left Dhayib injured and he had to leave for the hospital to get checked out. We hope he heals up soon and we look forward to him  coming back again next season. After the stoppage Ridge Meadows turned on the pressure and  scored 3 tries. We got back into the game with a Dante interception and a Louis try, it finished 21 to  12 at half-time for the visitors. The second half was a bit of a repeat of the first with Ridge Meadows scoring 3 more tries from our mistakes but our team is never done and we came back into it with a sneaky try from Zach on his return, and the 2 brothers, Sam and Larry got one each. If we played another 10 minutes I think the comeback would have been achieved but unfortunately the ref called time with the final score being 40 to 29 for Ridge Meadows. We get to renew the battle at the bottom on April 11th when we wrap up the regular season away to Ridge Meadows.

Saturday, March 28th the Rich-Lions have a bye.

Saturday, March 28th the Senior Men travel to Kelowna for a 2.30pm game.

The club wants to thank our sponsors and fans who came out and made it a successful Alumni day.
