Why You Should Referee High School Games?

Written by The Return of Abbyhalfback.

With the school rugby season just around the corner, it's time to start preparing for the upcoming high school rugby season.  Many ARFC players help out the rugby community by volunteering to coach in the schools but fewer and fewer are offering to lend a hand officiating games.   I've often wondered why this is.  Refereeing high school rugby is a great way to give back to the sport while at the same time lining your pocket with a few extra bucks; not to mention getting some much needed extra fitness during the week (Flaggy, I'm look in your direction here) as well as having the best seat in the house to watch the future players of the ARFC.

Connor Hunter Selected to Canada U-19

Written by RM.

altOriginally selected as a non-travelling reserve, Connor Hunter has now been called up to full selection with the team. He joins other Abbotsford players Paul Ahn and Jorden Best to make the trek to England in February and March with Canada U-19. Connor is a Aldergrove graduate who is currently playing for the Abbotsford men's team.

It will cost these players upwards of $2500 to represent their country on this trip. All three Abbotsford players have fundraising pages set up through rugby Canada. Any support that local rugby patrons can provide for these talented athletes would be much appreciated. Please visit their fundraising pages to make a donation.

altCongratulations to all Abbotsford Youth Rugby teams on strong seasons, especially the U-18 girls who won a provincial title.  Here is a summary of award winners for all youth age groups.  It was very difficult for coaches to decide on these awards due to the high caliber of play by many individuals.
