Burnaby Lake Rugby Club moved into essentially a three-team tie atop the B.C. Rugby Union premier division following a 69-7 victory over the Meralomas last Saturday.
Evan Thomas ran in three tries for the winners, while Admir Cejvanovic added a pair of five-pointers to the men's scoreline at Burnaby Lake-East.
The win, the club's seventh in a row, improved the Burnaby club's record to 8-3, tying it with idle James Bay and Capilano rugby clubs atop the eight-team ladder.
James Bay holds a slim one-point lead on bonus points over second-place Burnaby Lake.
Burnaby plays host to Capilano on Saturday. Game time is scheduled for 2: 45 p.m.
Burnaby's Div. 1 team clinched the Palmer Cup with a 37-6 win over the 'Lomas.
