On Tues. Feb. 7th Douglas College
Badminton Team got a visit from the
far East, The Taipei National
Badminton Team.

“We met them on the last trip we
made to Asia,” stated coach Peter
Chen., “ So we invited them to stop by.”

Despite how relaxed the
atmosphere looked, the coaches were

putting there best on the line to see how |

they would hold up. It seemed just the
fact that the team was from Asia,
instilled intimidation. The coach of the
BCIT team and is best player came to
give it there best shot.

“ They are really good!” said
,the player from BCIT. “I was surprised
that I only lost 15/8 and 15/8.”

The women’s rugby team at
Douglas has been doing very well this
season. Last season they won all 5
games in their interlock play-offs,
including wins against Simon Fraser
University, Incognitos, Burnaby, and
the University of Victoria.

They are now third in the league,
pending an important game against
University of British Columbia on
Sunday Feb. 19.

Last weekend they played a rather
amusing game against Burnaby. They
started out with ten experienced players
(you need 15 to play), and scored a
quick try within the first five minutes
thanks to Jen Fletcher setting the tone
for the rest of the game.

Burnaby never actually started
with the full 15 players and after one
injury were down to 12.

Douglas had two injuries, which
brought thier grand total after half-time
to 8 players.

Kelly McCallum, their stand-off,
looked so lonely by herself lining up
against Burnaby’s 6 backs. McCallum
saved the game with her awesome
kicking that kept Burnaby running the
whole game.

The final score was 27-0 with Jen

Ginther, Fletcher, Pamela Hadikan
and Tamera McKinnon, and a
convertmade by McCallum. Thanks
goes to coach Diver Dave, who made it
to the game okay despite the Rookie
Night festivities of the night before.
Mike Collins was sadly missed as he
had to coach the men’s game against
Western Washington.

If they can win with 8 players,
imagine what they could do with a
whole team!! All games are on Sundays,
with practices at Queens Park on
Wednesdays at 8pm. Next game is home
at Queen’s Park on February 19, against
UBC with a 12 o’clock kick off.
