Kelowna Repeats as Okanagan Sevens Champions

Friday the thirteenth is supposed to be unlucky, but for the participants at the ‘Okanagan Sevens’ and the fans watching, nothing could have been further from the truth. Under beautifully blue Okanagan skies with temperatures reaching the high teens, six senior teams played off in a round-robin format to determine the qualifying positions for BCSSRU Sevens 2012 to be held in Vancouver on April 21 and 22. Squads from Penticton, Kelowna, Vernon and Kamloops took part in one of four qualifying tournaments being held around the Province that same day.

Whistle Talk – News from the BCRRS

From time to time the BC Rugby Referees’ Society will publish a newsletter featuring discussion on the Laws of the Game, and the impact they have on the way the game is played in British Columbia.  As the IRB clarifies the Laws with its policies and rulings, it is hoped that this newsletter will do the same for officials, coaches, players and fans.  For a copy of the current laws, go to http://www.irblaws.com/EN/downloads
