BRAMPTON DEFEATS STE-ANNE'S IN PRE-SEASON
EXHIBITION Clubs Build on Strong Ties
On 3rd May weekend, at Loyola Campus of Concordia
University, three Brampton's Touring teams played against a Ste-Anne's
Under 21 team (bolstered by members of the Quebec U 21 Rugby Canada
Super League Caribou team), plus a Ste-Anne's Senior Men's and Senior
Women's side.
The matches were all part of a tour by the
Beavers to Montreal, and the games further cemented the bonds between
the 2 Clubs. By all accounts,
Brampton spent an enjoyable evening in Montreal on Friday night, a fact
confirmed by the number of knock-ons made during the matches, and these
helped to keep the score line close. The Ste-Anne's

BRAMPTON WOMEN OPEN EXHIBITION SEASON IN MONTREAL
In their first test of the season, the Brampton Women's team
travelled to Montreal last weekend to play Saint-Anne-
de-Bellevue Women’s team. The exhibition match was held on the
field turf pitch at the Loyola campus of Concordia University,
in cool, wet conditions. The Brampton women were part of a
Brampton Beavers pre-season Club tour to Montreal, joining the
Men’s Senior & U-21 squads
Although both the Beavers and the host
Ste-Anne's team were short on numbers, the match started off
earlier than scheduled, with a line-up of 11 players a side.
Both teams did their best with the unusual numbers and the
game had all the intensity of a regular 15’s match.

Having waited all week for someone else to provide a glowing
summary of the Old Boys' event at Markham, I realize now that
