After a successful rugby season, we want to highlight and thank the sponsors of the Kelowna Crows! Through their sponsorships, they support all of our rugby programs, and we’re able to run more smoothly as a club. They’ve helped fund our new kits, provided food for hosting, covered field rentals, and assisted in van rentals for our trips down as a few examples.

We are grateful for their continued support, some of whom have been sponsoring the club for years, and are reasons why Kelowna Crows rugby is growing. Thank you again sponsors, and support these businesses if you ever need their services!

On May 9th, the Kelowna Crows cemented themselves in history; not only did they win one championship, but two! Sweeping BC Rugby’s second division with title wins for both the women’s and men’s sides. We love a double-double!

The women started the day with an exciting and maybe stressful game for some ;) against Chilliwack Crusaders. Both teams have been at the top of the table throughout the whole season, so it is no surprise that they both brought out the heat for this match, exchanging tries and hard hits. The Crows may have come through with the win, but we want to thank Chilliwack for a great match and for the effort they’ve put in this season in playing, growing women’s rugby, and being amazing competitors.

The men faced off with Interior rivals Kamloops Raiders. Both teams gave the fans a fantastic battle to watch, showing quality rugby. Just as you think the Crows extended their lead enough, the Raiders came back with two tries towards the end, proving why they’re last year's champions. Crows showed solid defence and managed to hold off the Raiders as they captured the Championship. Though rivals, we thank Kamloops for being great competitors and also allies, as we both understand the challenges of being an Interior team. We commend them for continuing to grow the sport of rugby in the Thompson-Okanagan.

We want to thank all the fans who made it out to South Surrey on Saturday: having you in the stands gave the teams the extra push they needed to win it for the club. We also can’t forget everyone who tuned in on the livestream. We appreciate all your support, donations, and love you’ve given throughout the season!

The last time the women won the Division 2 title was back in 2016/17, while the men brought home a championship in 2017/2018 with a Division 3 title win. It was 2003/2004 when they last won the Division 2 title. You can say it’s been a long time coming, but this is proof that Kelowna Crows are growing again as a club, and we’re excited to see what next season brings!
