The rugby teams have been working hard to prepare for their season opener this Thursday. They travel to High River on Thursday to take on the Highwood Mustangs. The girls play at 5:00 and the boys at 6:30. This will be a good test for the teams. Should be some great rugby action! Best of luck to both teams.
