The pitch at Mitford Park will be buzzing with activity on Saturday, May 31, for the annual Club Day of the Bow Valley Rugby Club (BVRC), with players from minis to adults hitting the field to celebrate their shared passion for the sport.
BVRC president Anthony Battistone encourages the community to come out and see what makes rugby so special.
“It’s a big day of rugby, and then we’ll have a raffle, the kids will get a barbecue, and there’ll be some food trucks,” he said. “It’s a great way to bring the club and the community together at Mitford and have a great time enjoying rugby.”
Play kicks off at 10 a.m., with the U13B team taking on the Calgary Rams/Canucks. The U5/U7 players will scrimmage between games.
At 11:30 a.m., the U15 girls’ team, a combined Bow Valley/Irish/Saracens squad, hosts the Calgary Hornets, with the U9s playing in between.
The Bow Valley Grizzlies men’s team hosts the Calgary Rams in a regular-season matchup at 1 p.m. The Grizz are 2–1 heading into the game.
The women’s team takes to the field at 3 p.m.
To wrap up the day, the U15B team, featuring players from Bow Valley, the Highlanders and Vikings, takes on the Calgary Saints at 4:30 p.m.
