Victoria rugby clubs could go four-for-four this weekend with a local squad in each of the four B.C. finals.

The B.C. Rugby Union is hosting a day of championship matches at Klahanie Park in North Vancouver on Saturday (May 12), with the James Bay Athletic Association and Velox Valkyries in the premier menB次元官网网址檚 and womenB次元官网网址檚 finals. The Castaway Wanderers will play for the menB次元官网网址檚 CeiliB次元官网网址檚 Cup (Div. 1) title while the Velox Valhallians have a squad in the menB次元官网网址檚 Provincewide Third Division final.

For the Bays, a 23rd Rounsefell Cup championship as the top menB次元官网网址檚 club in B.C. wonB次元官网网址檛 come easy against Capilano on the latterB次元官网网址檚 home turf. The Bays defeated Burnaby in the CDI Premier League semifinal last week, while the Caps ousted the defending champion Castaway Wanderers.

Oak Bay native Connor Braid led the Bays with 88 points this season, third in the league, despite missing games due to national sevens commitments.

B次元官网网址淐onnor has developed into a real take-charge player and as our No. 10 he has the ability to punish the opposition in a variety of ways,B次元官网网址 said Bays coach Peter Rushton.

Starting the dayB次元官网网址檚 matches is the Harris Memorial Cup premier womenB次元官网网址檚 final, a 2011 rematch between Burnaby Lake and the Valkyries.

The Valkyries have not forgotten last yearB次元官网网址檚 heartbreak loss when Burnaby intercepted a pass in the final minute and ran it back for the game-winning try. B次元官网网址淲eB次元官网网址檙e a different type of squad this year,B次元官网网址 said Valkyries coach Aaron Frisby.

Valkyries forward Jesse Olynyk, recruited this year from the UVic Vikes, led the league in tries this season with 14, though many of them were team tries with Olynyk finishing them off, Frisby said. Captain Sarah Levson returns after her breakout season in 2010-11.

Frisby will get his own chance to shine with the Velox Valhallians against Kamloops in the third division final, while the Castaway Wanderers face Meraloma in the CeiliB次元官网网址檚 Cup final.
