Senior women’s rugby is making a return to the Central Okanagan after a three-year hiatus.
The Kelowna Rugby Football Club announced this week the program would return after the Kelowna Crows declared its decision to place a team in the BC Rugby Union’s Division 2 for the upcoming fall and winter season.
Players of all skill levels are invited to come out an play.
“Given the growth and success of the rugby club last year, it is only natural that we relaunch the women’s team for the upcoming season. We’re so excited to get started!” said Eleya Quist, director of women’s rugby.
The club is looking for women over the age of 19 who are looking for both a physical and mental challenge.

“I’ve been playing rugby since 2010, through High School, representative level, and University, rugby has provided me with opportunities that I would have never experienced had I not started playing,” said Jennifer Lemon, a women’s player and vice-president of the KRFC.
“Rugby is a sport for everyone and one that you will find lifelong friendships from no matter which stage you start your rugby journey!”.
