It was a big weekend for the Comox Valley Kickers Rugby Club. On Saturday in light rain at Village Park in Cumberland the senior women second division side United came from the lower mainland to challenge the Kickers women, and the senior men first division team Cowichan came to take on the Kickers men. In 2013 the Kickers have proudly elevated each senior team, the men taking a step up to Vancouver Island First Division, and the women a step out into a wider Second Division competition that includes teams from the lower mainland. Bold moves intended to raise the bar for rugby players and rugby fans in the Valley. That bar was set high by the visitors in a 4 hour display of rugby at its best. The Women kicked off at 11:30 and from the first whistle the intimidation from the Kickers forward pack, including some bullying runs from Sheryl Alexander, quickly forced United to adopt a wide ranging passing game, using phases of play to eventually outnumber the Kickers defense, a ploy that worked for United bringing an early try. The home team quickly answered with Molly Florian employing a deft sidestep and a quick weaving run to go in under the posts, converting her own try and maintaining a competitive scoreline. An U18 BC rep last year, Florian has recently played for Crimson Tide and she posed an ever present danger during the game leading United to take care to deny Florian space whenever possible.

Hello Kickers, your executive would like to remind you that as of Monday, July 30th, the fields at Lake trail Middle School will be used by the Women’s and Junior Teams for practice. Those wishing to come out for a game of touchies on Thursday, August 2nd, will meet at the clubhouse. The field there is ready for use and hopefully there will be some social time after the last touch rugby session before training for the fall season starts in full. Men’s senior practice sessions will start Tuesday, August 7th and we are hoping to get access to the Cumberland Village fields so as to be able to practice in a full field. Coach Frank would like to see all players show up and be ready for training by...
