The Canadian women's Under-18 national championship game saw the top-seeded Ontario Junior Storm produce a well-deserved 34-18 victory over second-seeded British Columbia. An older and bigger Ontario side led from start to finish and ran in six tries for the win.

"We came to Nationals this year with a younger team and today our inexperience showed," said BC U18 Women's head coach Brad Baker. "They put a lot of pressure on us and just forced us to keep making mistakes."

BC were down 22-8 at the half with their points coming through a Caitie Ryan (Sa Hali) try and a Jess Neilson (Carson Graham/ Meraloma RC) penalty. BC scored two more tries in the second half with Sarah Gordon (Lord Tweedsmuir / Bayside RFC) and Brittany Barbarant (Merritt) each going over.

"At the end of the day, second place in the country is a lot to be proud of," added Baker. "Looking ahead to next year, we've now got a tested group of players that have competed at this level and that bodes well for the future. "
