It isn’t just the Canucks that are caught up in play-off fever. So too the Comox Valley Kickers. Finally, after a week of indecision as to who they would play, the Kickers will take on Castaway Wanderers on Sunday April 17 at Cumberland’s Village Park at 1 p.m. in the first round of play-offs. Due to weather related problems the Kickers did not play C-W in leage play this Spring. The Kickers ended in second place with a 5-2 record while C-W finished with in fourth place with a 4-3 record. The clubs met once during the Fall season when the Kickers traveled to Victoria where they eeked out a 15-5 win last November. It should be quite a game on Sunday. Be...

An old rugby adage exhorts: “Get there the fastest with the mostest and good things will happen,” and the Comox Valley Kickers certainly did that on Saturday when they defeated the Powell River Otago, 43-10, in Pulp Town to earn a berth in next weekend’s Vancouver Island playoffs. Following a slow start, the visiting Kickers clicked into high gear proving themselves to be fitter, more committed and more aggressive at the breakdown, and in using their speedier and craftier backs to better effect than the home side. In the end the Kickers ran in seven tries and kicked four conversions in a 43-10 romp that leaves them in second-place with five wins and two losses in this Spring’s Vancouver Island competition. The Kickers stood back in the early going allowing Powell River to use their heavy forwards to muscle their way over for the game’s first try with Mark Bradley touching down. Slowly the Kickers shrugged off the ferry voyage and began to play the kind of rugby they are capable of, cleaning out the rucks and mauls and providing quick ball for their fleet-footed backs. At fifteen minutes centre Brandon Huddleston fielded a deft chip kick by fellow centre Eli Cummins and romped into the in-goal unmolested. He converted his own try: 7-5. Speedster Ross McLean, playing fullback, claimed the next when his blistering pace took him past all tacklers. Huddleston converted: 14-5. Now the tries kept coming with Huddleston adding another, McLean his second and lock Shayne Stuchbery, who played his usual rugged game, claiming two more. Eli Cummins danced over for one of his own late...
