Vernon Jackals RFC and Yeti Rugby Club enjoyed Championship success at the 2025 Saratoga Cup presented by Hideaway Public House hosted in Salmon Arm, with both trophies set to stay in the Okanagan region this year.
The Jackals secured its first Men’s Saratoga Cup title with a thrilling 20-19 win over defending champions Terrace Northmen RFC in Sunday’s final, while Yeti Rugby Club lifted its first ever Women’s Saratoga Cup Championship with a 28-10 win over the Rocky Mountain Rogues.
This year’s Saratoga Cup presented by Hideaway Public House saw our biggest competition to date, and featured 10 teams from seven Clubs battling it out in the sizzling heat at Little Mountain Fields.
The year’s edition also saw Trail RFC make its Saratoga Cup debut in the Women’s competition, finishing third overall – a testament to the growth of Rugby in the Kootenays region.
The weekend featured a Try Rugby session, hosted in partnership with Yeti Rugby Club, on Saturday morning to officially kick off the event.
