The Port Alberni Black Sheep were swarmed by the Nanaimo hornets in a game last Saturday. The sheep lost 25-22. The sheep play Cowichan Piggies in the B.C. Rugby Union Vancouver Island Cowichan Cup on April 12.

The Port Alberni Black Sheep will start their B.C. Rugby Union Vancouver Island Cowichan Cup playoffs on the road after losing 25-22 to Nanaimo Hornets on Saturday.

“A very disappointing result,” Black Sheep head coach Jas Purewal said. The loss put the Sheep in fourth place; they head to Cowichan to play the first place Piggies on Saturday. The Black Sheep were ahead 22-17 with six minutes left in their game on Saturday when Nanaimo took advantage of a loose ball out of a Black Sheep ruck to run 50 metres and score the winning try.

“You need to score on your opportunities and that was one thing we didn’t do,” Purewal said.
