Abbotsford school rugby is alive and flourishing as the district had
another successful year in 2009. Hundreds of boys and girls were active
from grades 7-12 in Abbotsford school rugby programs, as many teams
continue to expand and develop their rugby skills.
The Fraser Valley U-18 team started trials the first week of June in order to select the top 25 trialists in the large catchment area. The Fraser Valley catchment area for this team extends East from Aggasiz through to Abbotsford, Mission, Langley, Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, Surrey, Coquitlam and Delta. Over 80 players tried out for the team over a three week period period in which players endured speed and fitness testing, skill evaluations, decision making evaluations, and intersquad games. The speed and fitness testing consisted of 60m, 400m, and 2400m testing and produced some excellent results.
Congratulations to four Abbotsford U-19 players who received rugby Scholarships at the BC Rugby Championships in late May. Corey Sheremeto and Jon Martin of Bateman, Kurtis Appeldoorn of Mouat, and Aidan Finlay of Abbotsford Collegiate all took home awards. Abbotsford was the club with the largest number of award winners in the province. Read on for all the recipients.
The Abbotsford Rugby Club had it's men's and women's award banquet on Friday, May 22 at the ARFC Clubhouse. It was a great showing with over 90 people in attendance. Men's coaches Al Borrows and Mark Latam, and women's coaches Jason Young and Dave Chambers had some tough decisions to make in deciding award winners for the 2008-9 season.
