Vikes men rack up points in win over Westshore

Sept. 26: Victoria Vikes 77, Westshore RFC 24 (Westshore Recreation Centre, Colwood, B.C.)

COLWOOD, B.C. - The University of Victoria Vikes men's rugby continued their torrent pace to begin their 2015-16 BC Rugby Union premier season and pursuit of the Barnard Cup with a dominant 77-24 dismantling of Westshore RFC on Sept. 26 in Colwood, B.C. at the Westshore Recreation Centre. The Vikes add to the win column, moving their overall record to 2-0 while Westshore falls to 0-2.
 
A total of 12 different Vikes found the score sheet on Saturday, including 10 Vikes earning tries and seven conversions from third-year Vikes' fullback Fergus Hall. Winger Crosby Stewart scored a pair of tries while third-year outside half Guiseppe du Toit added two conversions in the Vikes' offensive display.
 
The Westshore defence has been less than stellar to begin this season, allowing 140 points through their first two games while the revamped Vikes have allowed only 24 points thanks to a shutout against James Bay last weekend. The Vikes' offence has been a different story in comparison to Westshore's defence, amassing 109 points through their first two matches.

Third-year Vike and captain James Pitblado scored his second try of the season along with Flanker Luke Campbell. Third-year wing Crosby Stewart followed up his pair last Saturday with a another on Saturday.
 
The Vikes jumped to an early lead and entered the break with a 22-3 lead over Westshore. A try-filled second half for the Vikes in which they scored 56 points past Westshore followed.
 
The Vikes entertain the Castaway Wanderers at Wallace Field Oct. 3 in their pursuit of the Bernard Cup while Westshore will take on James Bay Athletic Association.

Scoring Summary: James Pitblado (1T), L. Bradley (1T), L. Campbell (1T), J. Lorimer (1T), Kapi Vataiki (1T), L. Chisholm (1T), Guiseppe Du Toit (2C), Fergus Hall (1T, 7C), Kevin Leask (1T), Oliver Nott (1T), Crosby Stewart (2T), Nathan Stewart (1T).
