RUGGERS STRIKE GOLD

Jorden Sandover-Best and Sebastian Gibson of Abbotsford helped the provincial under-19 men's rugby team win gold at the national championships in Calgary.

B.C. trailed the Prairie Wolf Pack 13-10 for much of the second half, but Sandover-Best made a run to set up James Pitblado for the winning try in the dying minutes as B.C. won 15-13.

Sandover-Best had the only other try in the final for B.C., which came into the gold medal game undefeated, outscoring their opponents 98-47.
