The Westman High School Rugby Leage has named a new Shield after Larry Townsend.
Townsend was a key in the establishment of the Souris varsity girls rugby program and started the program at Crocus Plains.
The Larry Townsend Shield will be presented annually to the winner of the Crocus Plains and Vincent massey regular season match up.
The match up this season takes place May 18th with Townsend, who now lives in Alberta, in attendance to present the Shield.
