The Comox Valley Kickers women’s rugby team won its third consecutive game, Saturday in Nanaimo against the Hornets.
Daris Tendler, Natalie Nguyen, Karli MacFarlane, Kristianna Bouwers and Tanya Timmons each scored tries, and Paula Simpson made six out of nine conversions for a 57 -31 win.
“We were slow to start and had some gaps in our defence that allowed points to be scored against us, but we were quick to answer back,” said team captain Nguyen. “Once we got into our rhythm, everything started to flow. Our ball handling was crisp, our scrums were strong, and we were quick to the rucks. This game was one of the more physical and hard hitting. There was a lot of back-and-forth action, but we maintained our momentum to finish the game.”
The Kickers host Westshore RFC at Cumberland Village Park on Saturday, Oct. 13. Kickoff is at 11:15 a.m. Both teams are undefeated.
Player recruitment is ongoing. No experience is needed. Practices are held Mondays and Thursdays from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at Cumberland Village Park.
