It’s always a big game when James Bay’s Div. 1 men’s rugby team comes to town. Last weekend it was a big day for the Port Alberni Black Sheep, who dominated James Bay 46–12 on a soggy rugby pitch.
“The second half was really key,” Black Sheep head coach Jas Purewal said. “James Bay’s got an outstanding driving lineout and we had problems with that.”
Ty Shannon scored two tries, while singles went to John Symington—in his first game back since 2011—Anthony Selva, Asaeli Rokotuiwakaya, Joe Kalugin and Gavin Purewal.
Todd Daradics kicked a penalty goal and four conversions in the one-sided affair.
UVic—who rolls into Port Alberni on Saturday, Nov. 21 for a 1 p.m. kickoff—leads the BC Rugby Union division.
Edited: To correct spelling of Asaeli Rokotuiwakaya’s name. We regret the error.
