Last year the Queen City D3 side reached the playoff finals against the Denver Highlanders D3 side to see who would represent the Rocky Mountain Union at the Frontier playoffs. Division 4 rugby is considered Social side rugby and provides the rugby experience for new teams, as well as less for less experienced players to develop.
