The Comox Valley Kickers Women narrowly beat the Castaway Wanderers (鈥淐W鈥�) Saturday at Cumberland Village Park. This was the second time the teams met this season, but with a different result this time around. The Kickers won 29-26 with Dara DeMarce, Lauren Sargent, Lisa Korcsmaros, Jessica Nikkel and Daris Tendler Forberg each scoring a try. Christina Green-Speck added two converts.

鈥淲e came back from an early deficit to take the lead and worked hard at the end of the second half to secure the win,鈥� said coach Jean-Pierre Lussier. 鈥淭here was a bigger focus on teamwork this game. As the saying goes, 鈥榊ou can go faster alone but can go further together.鈥� We ran better support lines, were strong in the scrums and improved with our rucking. Things are really coming along for the team.鈥�

Regretfully, there was no men鈥檚 game as CW defaulted.

There is a league-wide bye on Thanksgiving weekend. Play resumes Oct. 15. The Kickers men will travel to the mainland to play against the Surrey Beavers. The women will host a combined side from Cowichan/Westshore.

Both teams are continually recruiting players. No experience necessary. Practices are held Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:30-8 p.m. at Cumberland Village Park. Everyone welcome.
