i in the action Sunday to famili-
| arize themselves with this rela-
tively new but quickly develop-
ing game.

UNABLE TO FEND off two
tackles at once, a Stelly’s
Stingers rugby player is
caught in mid-flight as
he sprints for the try line in
Junior level playoff
action against Esquimalt
at Stelly’s Secondary,
Nov. 6.

Stingers run
oui of fime
in 10-9 upset
loss fo SMU

The Stelly’s Junior rugby team
lost by a single point to St.
Michael’s University School in
Greater Victoria high school play-
off action, Thursday.

Despite a late rally, the Sungers
were edged out by 10-9 in the semi
final of the tournament, coach
Mark Wyatt said.

Playing in wet and muddy con-
ditions, the Stungers played their
best game of the season against a
very powerful SMU team, he said.

“It was a really wet and mucky
day that didn’t allow us to move
the ball around much among the
backs. It became a battle of the
forwards,” he said.

Despite being down by 10-0 at
the half-time mark, Stelly’s stil
gave SMU a run for its money in
early action, Wyatt said.

“It waS very much a see-saw
game,” he said.

But the Stingers’ tenacity and
hard-work began to pay off mid-
way through the second half, he
said.

A try by Steve Thomas was
converted by George White and

-was followed several minutes later
by a penalty kick, again to the
credit of White, he said.

Trailing by only a single point,
the Stingers pressed hard for
another try and kept SMU very
much on the defensive in the final
minutes, he said.

But time was not on Stelly’s
side, and the SMU team weathered
the onslaught to earn a berth in the
finals of the playoffs.

“Another five minutes of play
and I think we would have
clinched the game,” Wyatt said.

In earlier action, the Stingers
defeated Esquimalt by 12-7 in the
quarter finals at Stelly’s Secon-

dary, Nov. 6.

FRIENDS:

Wyatt said it was a tough match
that tested Stelly’s mettle and
forced the home team to dig deep
to come up with a winning effort.

“Esquimalt applied a lot of
pressure and forced us to make a
lot of errors. They were a really
aggressive team,” he said.

But some very balanced back
line attacking play helped the
home team to move the ball
upfield to provide many dangerous
counter-attacks, he said.

And two fine solo efforts by the
game’s standout, Matt Gummell,
provided both of Stelly’s tries, he
said.

With a try in each half and one
conversion by Jonathan Dereus,
Stelly’s was able to hold off
Esquimalt to seize the hard-fought
victory, he said.
