BRIT LIONS TEAM NEWS

---

This weekend was the second round of games in the new season.

Our Senior Women had a bye.

The Senior Men had our home opening game and we found a way to lose when we were winning inside the last few minutes, a 28 to 25 loss.

The U16 Boys had a bye.

The U18 Boys played against Langley . Langley were short of players due to their other commitments this weekend so the teams played for only 40 minutes at 13 v 13. Our coaches had to be on their toes to make sure all of our 30+ players got to play in the game and even with the regular rotation of players we came away with a 26 to 5 win.

We also had the return of Junior Girls rugby this weekend. We had U16 & U18 Girls playing in games against Kamloops, who were down to watch the WXV England v New Zealand game at Langley. Its very encouraging to see that we may have Junior Girls playing more often for our club again. Thanks goes to the Burnaby girls who helped boost our numbers.

A big thank you goes out to all the referees, players, supporters and Club Executives who helped make this weekend happen, on and off the field.

Just a note to let everyone know what is happening down at John Oliver Park this season. 

 We now have Minis, Junior Boys, Junior Girls, Senior Men and Senior Women running at John Oliver Park. 

The Junior Boys alone have 60+ players for the U16 & U18 teams which we are running this season. This is down to Brandon Bloomfield and Kelvin Paddle bringing their high school players to us, which has also woke up our Delta school players to come out as well. 

The Club would love to see these new teams supported by our local community and our Alumni, everyone should let their friends know that Brit Lions rugby is growing fast, it's an exciting time.
