The L.V. Rogers Bombers rugby program took a major step Wednesday as the Kootenay reps pummelled D.W. Poppey of Langley 41-14 in quarterfinal round action at the BC High School AA Boy’s Championships in Abbotsford.

The Bombers, which lost a 13-7 heartbreaker to the Fraser Valley squad during the 2015 Championships, are playing in the Tier II Division of the Double-A Boys Division.

The score was never in doubt as the top-ranked Bombers took control early and never looked back.

LVR now advances to the semi final Thursday against Hugh Roberts of Richmond.

Hugh Roberts defeated Southridge of Surrey 36-24 in the other quarterfinal contest.

Robert Bateman of Abbotsford outlasted R.A. McMath of Richmond 22-17 to meet Sir Charles Tupper of Vancouver in the other semi final.

Tupper blasted third-ranked Frances Kelsey 22-5.

The semi final winners advance to the Tier II Double-A Championship Saturday at Rotary Park in Abbotsford.
