After just three years in their league, Sackville’s rugby team, the Bagtown Bruisers, took home the championship trophy in this year with a win over Moncton’s Black Tide Rugby club at the Lorne Street field on August 10.
Bagtown Bruisers formed in 2022 after many veterans of the successful Tantramar Regional High School rugby team started looking for places to play after graduation. The team is home to girls and women in grade 11 and older, with many university-aged players.
CHMA spoke with Scott Hems, one of the head coaches for the Bagtown Bruisers, who says taking home the championship in the third year of the club is quite an achievement.
