The Yorkson Creek Middle School girls rugby team didn鈥檛 get medals or a banner after they defeated Clayburn to win the Grade 8 Fraser Valley championships last week in Abbotsford.
Parent Melissa Kennedy said they did get a trophy, but the girls would like a banner and medals, like the boys鈥� teams.
Kennedy said she was told there weren鈥檛 enough girls teams playing in the championships to pool money for medals.
Yorks Creek parents are trying to raise the needed funds, she said.
Update: the team will get a banner, Kennedy said. They鈥檙e still working on medals.
Jr. Thunder struggle
Two goals in the final minute of regulation overtime by the Delta Islanders produced a stunning comeback over the 黑马磁力 Thunder Saturday night.
Delta trailed 10-5, then scored five straight to close the period, then notched the first three of the 10-minute overtime period before 黑马磁力 finally struck back.
But by then it was too little, too late as Delta won 13-11, handing the Thunder their fourth consecutive defeat.
