Panthers blast Stingers The Parkland Panthers won the Col. Hodgins Division (Division 2) league cup after battling to a 10-3 victory over Stelly’s Stingers at Stelly’s High Monday. Ina fast-paced game full of hard tackling and skillful rugby, both teams struggled to gain the upper hand but remained fairly evenly matched. Wes Nelson opened up the scor- ing early on in the first half with a penalty goal for the Panthers. But Stelly’s Bill Ayde levelled the score a few minutes later with another penalty: goal. Midway through the first half, Terry James scored a well-earned try to once again give Parkland the lead. The score remained 7-3 up until the intermission. In second half action, both teams came close to scoring tries on several occasions. But in the end, it was a solitary penalty goal to the credit of Wes Nelson again that clinched the game for the Panthers. Parkland’s coach Don Burgess said he was impressed with the way both teams played but felt the Panthers were marginally better on the day. “It was a very scrappy game and Parkland worked hard and the boys played really well,” he added. Parkland will play again May 15 in a challenge game against the Mount Douglas Mountainmen at 1:30 p.m. at Royal Athletic Park. The winner will get to play in the Howard Russell Division (Division 1) semifinals. RUNNING WITH the line-out at a recent Stelly’s Stingers game.
