Whiskey Jacks celebrate first provincial championship
The Prince Albert Whiskey Jacks one-upped themselves this year.
They won the Sask Rugby Division II Senior Men’s Provincial championship over the Regina Condors 50-24 on Saturday in Regina. That comes one year after the Whiskey Jacks won the North Sask Div. II league over the Saskatoon Badgers.
After the Whiskey Jacks won the provincials, the coaches and founders of the team joked about the rather hesitant talks they had at head coach Dominic Elsbury’s place about if they wanted to form the team.
“We were laughing last night when we were talking in Dom’s basement [four years ago] about should we try to do this? Should we not? But here we are,” Whiskey Jacks coach and player Darcy Murphy said.
