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.

Since it was founded, the club has grown to include multiple teams ranging from minis (five and up), to junior boys and girls, women, and two squads of senior men.

Langley has won several league and provincial championships and many Langley Rugby players have gone on to play for regional, provincial and national teams.
