The Abbotsford Rugby Football Club is hosting its annual alumni day this Saturday.

The event begins with the club’s three men’s teams and its women’s side playing home games at Exhibition Park. The Div. 3 men host Surrey at 11:30 a.m., followed by the Div. 2 and Div. 1 men hosting Seattle at 1 p.m. and 2:30 p.m., respectively. The Abby women play Bayside at 11:30 a.m.

In the evening, ARFC alumni are invited to a banquet where Doug Johnstone will be inducted into the club’s Hall of Fame as a player. Johnstone played for Abbotsford’s Div. 1 team for almost 10 years in the late 1970’s and 80’s. He was a tough centre who was known for being one of the club’s fittest players.

ARFC alumni interested in attending can contact Doug Primrose at doug_primrose@sd34.bc.ca.
