Highland Rugby players have returned successful from the Sanix World Youth Rugby Tournament.

Four local players - Joel Brattan, Nathan Fish, Djustice Sears-Duru and Alex Swainson - played for the the Shawnigan Lake School men’s rugby team at the recent tournament in Japan.

The team competed against 15 other international high schools and placed 10th in the tournament, the highest ever ranking for a Canadian school, and achieved a historic 17-14 win over Kelston Boys, the reigning New Zealand high school champions.

Highland Rugby club officials would like to congratulate  Brattan, Fish, Sears-Duru and Swainson on the accomplishment.
