After a tough loss in their opening game, the Langley Saints rebounded to win their final two games and place fifth at the B.C. provincial senior boys 2A tier 1 rugby championships last week in Abbotsford.
They were held at Rotary Stadium May 25, 26 and 28.
The Saints, the Fraser Valley champions, lost 31-28 to Brentwood College in the opener, but responded to win 36-34 over Glenlyon Norfolk and 27-17 over Abbotsford to finish fifth.
Langley had entered seeded fourth.
Isaiah Okoli was named to the Commissioners XV for the Saints.
And the D.W. Poppy Redhawks exited the 2A tier 2 provincials with the same seed they entered: eighth.
The Redhawks went 0-3 at provincials, losing 41-14 to LV Rogers, 45-5 to McMath and 63-12 to Southridge.
Poppy’s Logan Belansky was named to the Commissioners XV.
