A pair of city rivals squared off on the rugby pitch last weekend at South Surrey Athletic Park, with the Bayside Sharks and Surrey Beavers facing each other in three different games.

The Beavers – who play out of Sullivan Park – edged the South Surrey-based Sharks in first- and third-division action, while Bayside got the better of their crosstown rivals in a second-division tilt.

That wasn’t the only rugby action on the field Saturday either. The day began with Bayside’s two women’s teams each lacing up against visiting Capilano Rugby Club.
