S'Port Alberni busy this weekend....Alberni Wrestling Awards, Bulldogs Spring Camp II in Osoyoos

A very busy weekend in S'Port Alberni!

The Alberni Valley Track Club is holding their annual meet at Bob Dailey tomorrow and Sunday...here's a note from them.

This weekend the Alberni Valley Track Club will be hosting our annual Bob Dailey Track Meet on May 3^rd and 4^th at the Bob Dailey Stadium (proud of our new track surface and revitalization!!!) We have athletes from all over Vancouver Island and Mainland attending our meet. On Saturday at 1pm we will all be cheering on a male athlete from Comox who will be throwing Javelin in hopes to make the standard for World Jr’s. Come out, watch and support all these amazing athletes!!!

The Alberni Golf Club's Junior Program Open House goes tomorrow from 1pm to 3pm. Here's my thoughts on it from the blog on Wednesday....

Assistant Pro Brian Rands and all his volunteer teachers do a fantastic job at not only introducing kids to the game, but also fine tuning those that have been playing for a while. It must be incredibly gratifying for everyone that has a hand in teaching these kids as young juniors when they go on to the NCAA/CIS and compete in National and International events! Get your kids out to the club this Saturday.


There's also Soccer action at the Echo and ADSS Armada Fields with the 50th playing of the Island Invitational Cup in town

The 50^th Island Invitational Cup goes this weekend at Echo Fields and the Armada Turf Field.

Top Soccer teams from Comox, Campbell River, Powell River, Cowichan, Nanaimo and Victoria will be competing for the coveted Island Invitational Cup. Please come out and watch the top male and female soccer players on the island on Saturday May 3^rd

Game times are 10, noon, 2 and 4 pm

The Bulldogs Coaching and Support Staff have a very busy weekend as they are on the ice for their second Spring Identification Camp in as many weeks today through Sunday in Osoyoos.

A great indication at the effort put in by the Staff to make the team competitive, as they search high and low, far and wide for players who can make the club and make a difference next year and in the future.
