Today the first underwater rugby game in BC playing with official CMAS rules and an official red ball from Germany was played in Oak Bay Recreation Centre in Victoria BC.

Highlights of the game include:

The Blue team led by Nick the Brit faking a handoff and scoring an open net goal on Big Jim. Nick was his usual self showing strategy and unsurpassed conditioning that led his blue team to ultimate victory.

The ladies: Sarah, Melissa and Pattie proved that coeds belong in this spot. Sarah disregarded the fourth commandment and pushed off her father’s chest with both her feet while holding the ball with a vice grip. Patti gripped the ball like a barnacle causing minute long underwater scrums that exhausted everyone. Melissa was in the mix and did not back down from any tussle what-so- ever,  even after a midnight nursing shift..

Andrew amazingly managed to push a ball into the goal with Big Jim giving him a Heimlich maneuver and blocking the goal with his big old old bod.

Stuart got a break away goal on Nick and was in on every play. Stuart’s arms encircled his opponents like a hungry giant squid looking at supper.

So much  fun was had by all,  that folks want to continue with this game. A big thanks to Big Jim for his ferocity and for his generosity in covering pool costs. Way to go guys!
