The Kelowna Owls will compete in the B.C. senior boys rugby sevens championship this weekend at St. George’s School in Vancouver.
The KSS 1st team qualified for provincials after taking top spot at the Interior B.C. tournament hosted last weekend by the Owls.
The Kelowna firsts dominated the tournament with a 5-0 record in the round robin, while the KSS No. 2 team finished with 4-1 record, their only loss coming against the Owls firsts. Kalamalka, Immaculata, Princess Margaret and Sa-Hali also competed at the six-team Interior tourney.
Kelowna has placed in the top 10 at the B.C. sevens championship the last four years in a row.
“We’re definitely building a pretty strong tradition here with the sevens,” said Owls’ head coach Dave Marfleet. “We’re hoping to get back into the top 10 at B.C.’s for the fifth year in a row, that’s our goal.”
At provincials, Owls’ team will play three games on Saturday and as many as three on Sunday.
The Owls are led into sevens battle this season by captain Cole Mosychuk.
The rest if the KSS 1st sevens team is: Joey Wallick, Ryan Lawson, Nate Brown, Jake Pilon, Leighton Gabbidon, Aaron Mahal, Amrit Mahal, Eli Haynes, Joel Henseleit and Max Dreschler.
