Playing at home proved to be no advantage for the Langley Rugby Tier B women’s team on Saturday morning, with a 55-0 final score against Kelowna.

It was the final game of the first half of the season, which will resume in late January.

The women’s team are currently in seventh place in Tier B.

A scheduled game that would have pitted the Langley senior men’s division two team against their Kelowna counterparts was won by forfeit after Kelowna was unable to field a team.
