Weekend Recap
This past weekend marked the beginning of the spring season. All three Men's senior sides were in action, with the premier and 1st division teams traveling to the Island to face #1 ranked James Bay. 3rd division hosted their Valley rivals from Chilliwack.
Why You Should Referee High School Games?
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.
ARFC Men Embarking on Premier Journey
This coming weekend marks the beginning of the 2012 Premier season as the ARFC Men's Premier and Division 1 teams travel to Victoria to take on James Bay. The Abbotsford boys have been working hard over the off-season in preparation for the Premier league and are looking forward to the elite competition.
Connor Hunter Selected to Canada U-19
Originally 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.

2011 ARFC Youth Award Winners
Congratulations 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. All players had an important role in their team’s success this year.
Congratulations to our award winners and all of our players!
