The field hockey season has kicked off with no breaks for the L.V. Rogers junior team.

The team played eight games in two days at a tournament last weekend in Oliver, winning three, losing four and tying one.

The event, which was for players from Grades 8 to 10, featured six-a-side games with 20-minute halves.

The junior team also downed Trail’s J.L Crowe 2-0 on Tuesday.

LVR’s senior team has had a pair of games this week. Shianne Michalchuck scored six as the Bombers shut out Castlegar’s Stanley Humphries 8-0 on Monday before losing a 6-2 result to J.L. Crowe on Tuesday.
