BSRFC President’s Update – July 27, 2025

I had the pleasure of watching some fabulous rugby this weekend and sharing the stands with friends and family. Friday night was the U18W cup game and it was great to see the support for these wonderful athletes as they won against Peterborough. On Saturday and Sunday it was the turn of the U16G and B play-offs where I watched the girls dominate in both the cup and league, keeping their unbeaten record and finishing first in the region. I am really excited for the future of the club with so many strong female teams. Congratulations to all who have had an incredible season.

I also wanted to note the fabulous volunteer efforts of our U16 parents and supporters who provided a BBQ on both Saturday and Sunday. It was so well run and the army of volunteers was great to see, thank you all for your efforts, it truly is appreciated.

Gym Opportunity – CanAm Strength and Conditioning on Colonnade Road

The club has been working closely with CanAm for the last number of years and I wanted to bring to your attention their Youth and Teen ADP Programming which is available for age 8 through Varsity and beyond, and who offer 2 free trial sessions for new members to get exposed to our programming. A number of our players are in their programs and they would love to see some new faces. The Youth Athlete Development Sessions for ages 8-12 are now running 4 times a week, and Teen Athlete Development 5 times per week. Visit the CanAm website.
