BRAMPTON WOMEN DEFEAT LEAGUE CHAMPIONS LINDSAY   by Brian Kelly    25th May 2008

This past Saturday 24th May 2008, another step in the right direction as Brampton Women's team took on a formidable foe, in the defending champions from Lindsay. We won the game, and came out with more intensity from the get-go, scoring from the kick off.

 

Although it’s early in the season, the continuity of play which we have shown so far is excellent. Great forward play by Sonia and Jenna Livingston was complemented by outstanding runs by Vanessa and Sarah Jess. Sarah Jess used her patented "falling airplane" running style to carve through a depleted Lindsay team. and we came away with at commanding 40-7 victory.

 

With so many great plays, tackles, runs and scores, it was very much a team effort. Our Brampton Beavers are really embracing the "fifteen as one" mentality and are making it very difficult for teams to key on one or two individual players. This season, everyone is a force to be reckoned with.

 

As always, we have a few things to work on, which is why we practice. It is clear that the hard work the women's squad had been putting in week in, and week out, is starting to pay off. This upcoming week we are at home versus Peterborough at noon. I would like to welcome everyone to come watch us as we look to take our record to 3 and 0 this season. Peterborough will no doubt provide stiff competition as they are new arrivals in our league having dropped down from the OWL.

 

A win this weekend will reaffirm what I already know as the coach, that we are going in the right direction this season in our quest to win a championship. With such a rich heritage of success in the past, we are well on our way to bringing back the former glory.  GO THE BEAVERS!!!
