Dust off the cleats and wash off the mouthguard - senior women鈥檚 rugby is returning to 麻豆精选.
The 麻豆精选 Rugby Football Club, or the Crows, have declared a team for this fall鈥檚 B.C. Rugby Union Division 2 season, and are looking for recruits.
鈥淕iven the growth and success of the rugby club last year, it is only natural that we relaunch the women鈥檚 team for the upcoming season,鈥� said Director of Women鈥檚 Rugby Eleya Quist, adding that the club is 鈥渟o excited.鈥�
The Crows have not fielded a women鈥檚 team since 2019. The senior men field two squads, one each in their respective Division 1 and Division 3 leagues, which have flourished since the start of the pandemic.
Since 2019, the men鈥檚 rosters have grown from around 20 players to 40+, working their way to a semifinal appearance last season at the Division 1 level.
No experience is required to come out and join the team. Those interested simply must be 19 or older.
鈥淩ugby is a sport for everyone and one that you will find lifelong friendships from no matter which stage you start your rugby journey,鈥� said Jennifer Lemon, a player and vice-president of the club.
Those who would like to learn more about joining the Crows can email Quist at crowswomensrep@kelownacrows.com.
