Report

The Manitoba Junior rugby Football Union ran a series of Intermittent Games over Spring and Fall from 1893 to 1904. A lot of these series were inconclusive, however overall, St. John’s Royalists Jrs had the better of Winnipeg FC Jrs, the other main team involved. Other games included Wesley College in 1898 and in 1904, there was a team called Winnipeg Kennedys, which lost 9-0 to St. John’s Royalists. Given the name, Kennedys may have been an Irish team.
