The rugby season is in full swing and it's no surprise that players from all corners of the globe are making a name for themselves. Here's a list of seven Bay of Quinte players who have made it to the top.
The first round of this championship saw the Loyalist Lancers in action, as well the Kingston St. Lawrence Vikings. The Peterborough Fleming Knights were also present, as was the Oakville Sheridan Bruins. However, there are a few big names that are not on the right side of the draw. Even the Loyalists haven't quite cracked the scoreboards in the early stages.
Top honours in terms of most coveted trophy go to the Loyalists' shirt's top whose name is engraved. James Lowe is a former Leinster stalwart and has many points to his name.
Except for the fight with the winger mentioned, there were some notable performances from the region’s top guns. The Loyalists' scout helmet was especially impressive. Although it's not a home run it is still a remarkable feat for the team.
The Loyalists' new entrant was successful, despite some missteps. Among the more memorable were the impressive score by Christine Vandertoorn, and the bruising blowout by Britt Whiting. Amanda Blair's display was undoubtedly the best. Although Blair won the OCAA female Rugby player of week award for her efforts, the winning game was her kicking. Blair took advantage the icy wind and kicked three penalty kicks. She also won the player award for the week.
The OCAA's women's and men's leagues had plenty of amazing feats. Although it is not unusual to find teams with names like Jackson and Jake, these names might be best kept hidden. The likes of "George North" and "George Davidson" were forced to miss Round 2 with injury, while the "Geoff Farrar" and "Gabe Davidson" stayed home for the win. The Vikings, as well as the Lancers, each won. Their names are still unknown for the other contenders.
It's a very different story for the OCAA male leagues. Despite being on a losing streak, reigning champs the OCAA is not in the dark. However, the Vikings & Lancers have proved to the OCAA that they're not limited to Kingston. The scores they have accumulated this season show that they have made significant moves. Even though they are just a few rounds into this competition, they have the potential to secure a top four finish and the elusive top place. And if they can keep their heads, they'll be back in the winners' circle by the time they make it to the finals next year.
It is also possible to predict that other OCAA men’s league contenders will be trying for the title.
