JUNIOR BOYS U-16: BEAVERS WIN THRILLER VS. HIGHLAND SATURDAY JULY 10th

This past Saturday July 10th, the Under 16 Boys hosted the Fergus Highlanders in their 3rd and final home game of the season. The Beaver's were coming in desperate for their first win of the season, and were in tough against the 2nd place Highlanders. Brampton sent a message early with some hard tackling that put Fergus on the back foot. Christian Jarchow put the Beavers on the board early after some expert passing and support play by Jacob MaCree and Stephen Bartlett. Highland responded quickly and charged down deep into Brampton's half. The Beavers bent but didn't break, and Highland was simply unable to cope with relentless Beaver tackling. Brampton capitalized on a key Fergus knock-ons as rookie winger Ian Eddy touched down in Highlands try zone for the second Brampton try.

Score at Half was Brampton 10 Fergus 0

With only half an hour remaining in the game, Brampton could taste victory. However Fergus was not out of it yet. Much of the second half was spent within Brampton's 22 metre line and some costly Brampton penalties allowed the Highlanders to score two quick tries to tie the game.The Beavers weren't phased and once again moved the ball down the field. Flyhalf Shawn Copeland put the Beavers back on top with a clever try under the posts. Michael Fuller, a backup kicker, put a clutch kick through the uprights to put the score at 17-10. With only 5 minutes left, Fergus were desperate to tie the game. With a penalty just inside the Brampton half, the Fergus flyhalf was able to make a key kick right to his winger who scored in the corner. A missed convert allowed Brampton to hang on to the lead, and the win.

Final Score Brampton 17 Fergus 15

Brampton will look to improve its record to 2-3 this coming Saturday with a match at Stratford.
