Thursday, Sept. 25, 1980. by Greg Heakes Douglas College rugby veams took over where they left off last year by dominat- ing their opponents in early league play. The division 1, 2, and 3 teams remained undefeated throughout the first two weeks of play as they record- ed five separate wins over Chilliwack, Pitt River and Simon Frfser University Rug- by Clubs. Keeping in line with an old Scottish tradition, the Doug- las teams are made up of a mixture of alumni and student players. ‘Rugby is a social sport where all the players stick together. You don’t find too many sports where you take your opponents out for a beer after the game, but rugby is one of them,’’ explained coach Gert van Niekerk. There are about 15 Douglas College students spread out between the three teams and four playing on the top divi- sion one team. As far as league domination goes, Douglas’ strongest team this year is division 2 who recorded astronomical scores over their opponents in the first two games. They beat Chilliwack 60-0 in the opener and last week- end defeated Pitt River by an almost identical 60-4 score, at ‘Queens Park. The teams’ lineup is a carryover from last year when they won their division title but were upset in the semi- finals of the Provincial play- offs by Pocomo.

Douglas was bombed 15-0 in the first game and 10-1 in the second game against Caribou College last week-end. The only goal scorer for Douglas was Mike Sullivan. Coach Whittham blamed they are on another team. Ideally we'd like to carry 22 players so we could have two teams.’’ he added. Coach Whittham is seeking more players. Those inter- ested can reach him at 685- 6968 or 687-3400. Practices are held on Wednesdays and Fridays at 4:30-6:00 p.m. at” Queens Park in New West- minster.
