NorKam Saints win Provincial Rugby Gold
KAMLOOPS — It was the culmination a great season for the Norkam Saints Girls Rugby team, as they defeated the Port Alberni Armada, 35-17, in the Gold Medal game of the BC High School Girls Rugby Provincial Championships this morning at the Kamloops Rugby Club in Rayliegh.
The Saints led 24-5 at halftime, but the Armada battled hard in the second half, closing the gap to 7 points, before Norkam put the game out of reach late in the match.
“It’s literally amazing, I’m so happy right now,” said Kally King, Grade 10 Saints standout. “It took a lot of mental strength… to believe that we could win. It took physical strength, as well, and everyone coming together as a team.”
