Division 2
The ARFC Div. 2 team hosted Kamloops in the only senior ARFC game of the weekend. Abbotsford knew they were in tough against a well-drilled Kamloops side that was in the div. 2 final the previous season. Both teams had intentions of moving the ball around the park, unfortunately the weather didn’t allow for much ball movement and the game turned in to a slug fest with a lot of hard running, hard scrumming, and some big tackles being put in by both teams. Kamloops had an edge in the scrums and in the lineouts and put that possession to good use by scoring the first try of the game after sustained pressure in the Abbotsford half. Abbotsford responded with some good pressure of their own but gave up penalties or knocked the ball on and Kamloops came out at half-time up 7-0.
