Under sunny skies in Port Alberni, inspired set play produced consistent and timely possession that allowed the Kickers to down an initially spirited and stubborn Black Sheep side 54 - 12. Ross McLean scored 2 trys while singles were added by Pieter Voster, Jake Nessman and Troy Mader. Kickers Man of the Match, Eli Cummins, chipped in with a try and six conversions. A penalty try was awarded to Comox Valley.

This last game of the fall fixtures was highlited by strong Kicker tackling, good support and unrelenting pressure. A great player turnout was icing on the cake for the 9 - 0 Kickers. (Report by Harry Gaines.)
The Kickers are currently leading the Island Div 3 by a comfortable margin.
VIRU play-offs begin this coming Sunday, December 4 @ 1:00 PM, Village Park, Cumberland.
Special mention goes out to Chris Ostertag and Aisha Mendez who recently got married (as well as a belated congratulations on the birth of their son).
