It may have been a win via forfeit but the Howe Sound Sounders rugby team will take it.
After Vancouver College no-showed on Friday (May 4), the Sounders picked up their first "win," bouncing back after dropping a 24-19 decision at home to McMath Secondary School on Thursday (May 3).
Filipe Cuellar, Jag Tatla and Griffin Dare all scored tries, with Dare successfully kicking a pair of two-point conversions after the tries.
"The team played a great game and are really learning the game," said Sounders head coach Rob Lepine. "David Marlow, Brandon Lewis, Josh Watts and Jeff Tang were all particularly outstanding."
The Sounders had a re-match against Vancouver College on Wednesday (May 9) but results were not available at press time.
