The start to the 2008-09 season will have to wait a little longer for the Vikes men's rugby team, as the Burnaby Lakers forfeited todays season opener against the Vikes because of unplayable field conditions. Supposedly most fields in Vancouver are still frozen and Burnaby was unable to find a field in time for the 2:45 PM kickoff. The Vikes offered to host the game at Wallace field but Burnaby declined.
A bit of unfortunate start to what promises to be a exciting season of rugby. The league must address this issue and address it quickly. However, the Vikes will take the three points to start the season. The season opener will now be next Saturday at Wallace field when the Vikes entertain the Vancouver Rowers.
