But at least Rob Saarich finished on the high side as the Terrace Northmen rugger-rats opened their season with a convincing win over Prince Rupert. Although on foreign turf, the Northmen started confidently as should a squad that's lost only two games in three years. Doug Wilson opencd = the scoring and kept it all to himself, converting his own try for an 7-0 lead. Just before ithe half, Saarich stepped into the limelight for the first lime, going over in the comer. Despite having lo kick from hard against the sideline, Wilson made light of the absurdly acuie angle to put it between the uprights: 14-0 at the interval. Saarich’s least shining moment allowed Rupert to get on the board early in the second half. Attempting a mark, he executed ihe call perfectly but neglected to catch the ball. It took a high bounce over his head and was scooped up by an opportunistic rainbow warrior for an easy try. A penalty soon after drew the coast squad within six but that was 10 be as near as they got Saarich made amends by going over for his second of the match with Wilson’s boot again unerring. The Northmen rounded out the scoring when Arnie Pelletier ance again impersonaied the road runner with a 45 metre sprint and Wilson finished the day with a perfect kicking record. The 28-8 victory made it clear Terrace intends to dominate the North Coast Rugby league again this year. And Wilson’s 13 point performance has him off to a good start in the quest for the league’s scoring title. The Northmen’s next home game is Sunday, May 29 when they host Rupert'in what'will by then be their fourth meeting. - SOURCE FOR SPORTS ( MOTHER'S DAY ) Here’s your chance to get out in the fresh air and have a great time!
