There are many international players making their mark with rugby's current season. This list features seven Bay of Quinte products that make the grade.
The first round featured the Loyalist Lancers and the Kingston St. Lawrence Vikings. Also, the Peterborough Fleming Knights, the Oakville Sheridan Bruins and the Peterborough Fleming Knights all visited the pitch. However, there are a few big names that are not on the right side of the draw. Even the Loyalists haven't quite cracked the scoreboards in the early stages.
The Loyalists' top shirt has the name of the man who is most highly coveted. That man is former Leinster stalwart James Lowe, and he has a ton of points on his mantle.
Apart from the brawl with the winger above, there were other notable performances by some of the region's finest guns. Particularly, the Loyalists scout cap was something to see, although it may not be one for the faint of heart. It is not a home run but it is an impressive feat for this team.
The Loyalists' new entrant was successful, despite some missteps. Britt Whiting and Christine Vandertoorn had impressive scores. Amanda Blair's show was the best. Although Blair was awarded the OCAA female rugby player-of-the week award, the best part of the day was her kicking game. Blair took advantage of the cold wind to kick three penalty kicks and won the player of the week award.
The OCAA's women's and men's leagues had plenty of amazing feats. Although it is not unusual for teams to be named "Jackson", or "Jake", they may be best left behind. The injury to George North and George Davidson forced the team to skip Round 2. Meanwhile, Geoff Farrar and Gabe Davidson remained home for the win. Nonetheless, the Vikings and the Lancers each came away with a win. Their names are still unknown for the other contenders.
It's a completely different story in the OCAA men’s leagues. Although the reigning champs are in the midst of a losing streak, the Vikings and Lancers have shown the OCAA that they are no longer confined to Kingston. As evidenced by their scores this season, they've made some important moves. Even though they are just a few rounds into this competition, they have the potential to secure a top four finish and the elusive top place. They'll be back in their winners' circle next year if they keep their heads down.
It is also possible to predict that other OCAA men’s league contenders will be trying for the title.
