Female Rugby Player Plays For Bishops College Boys' Team May 18, 2010 Bishops College student, Deidre Rees, is playing rugby for the Bishops College boys' high school team. She recently played in the Under 16 Provincial Boys tournament and helped Bishops College win 40-0. Deidre got some playing time and made a few tackles and even scored some points. This is remarkable in that it may just be the first time that a girl has played high school boys rugby in our District. Deidre's coach and Bishops College's Physical Education teacher, Danny King, who is also a veteran rugby player himself, chose to dress her for the game and once he received permission from officials, played her in the wing position. Deidre is a national caliber athlete who was recently selected for the Canadian National U17 team and has just completed training in San Diego.
