SENIOR MEN'S RUGBY

The Meralomas field three competitive senior men's teams catering for all age, experience and ability levels. Our teams accommodate players of all standards of rugby from the very serious to the seriously social. The Senior Men's top team, the Premier men, compete in the BC Premier League, the highest level of amateur rugby in BC. The Reserves travel with the Premier men and compete in the Premier Reserve League. 

​

The Senior Men's teams have had tremendous success in recent times winning Provincial Championships in 2016, 2017, and 2018.
