CANADA U17's vs.VANCOUVER ISLAND/MAINLAND SELECTS

In preparation for their upcoming tour to England and the Wellington International Tournament, Canada's U17 REPS will be playing two trial matches against regional representative sides this week.  The boys have been in camp since the weekend, training and preparing for their tour.

The first of these exhibition matches will take place this coming Thursday at 7:00 p.m. at Bear Mountain Stadium, Langford aka the Home of Rugby Canada.  There will be a number of CW boys on the rep team.  Unfortunately, this year we have no selections on the national team as our current crop of outstanding youth are mostly 18 or 15.

CW SUPPORTS TESSA BEAUCHAMP BURSARY FUND

Posted 2012-Feb-20 01:34

Each season, CW rugby seeks a "cause" it can honor with the full amount of donated "gate" takings.  We usually select a game we anticipate that will be well attended.  There are many, many causes that attract our attention and it is a challenge to decide the most worthy.  Often the cause is rugby related eg. Christchurch earthquake victims.  This year, a long standing supporter brought a cause to our attention.

The cause is about a young female athlete who displayed GREAT bravery.  The cause struck a cord with the Board for a number of reasons.  This year is our first year of a CW girls youth team, as well, we have seen our Canadian Womens Sevens team vault to #1 in the world and it seemed the right thing to do.

CW rugby can relate to Tessa Beauchamp - never complain, never give up.  We applaud warriors and when you read about her on the link provided, you will surely agree.  Her story may bring a tear to the eye but it is also a story about inspiration - a human story of a superb young lady. We do hope that you will attend Saturday's rugby game at Windsor and that you might dig that little bit deeper to assist Tessa's legacy - her Bursary Program.
