The rugby season is in full swing and it's no surprise that players from all corners of the globe are making a name for themselves. Here's a list of seven Bay of Quinte players who have made it to the top.
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.
In terms of the most coveted trophy, the top honours go to the man who's name is emblazoned on the top of the Loyalists's shirt. That man is former Leinster stalwart James Lowe, and he has a ton of points on his mantle.
There were notable performances by some top regional guns, aside from the above-mentioned winger's tussle. 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.
Aside from a few missteps, the Loyalists' newest entrant had its moments. Britt Whiting's stunning score and Christine Vandertoorn’s incredible score are two of the highlights. Amanda Blair's performance was, however, the highlight of the event. The kicking game won the day, even though she was the OCAA Female Rugby Player of the Week award recipient. Taking advantage of a brisk icy wind, Blair booted three penalty kicks, while also claiming the aforementioned player of the week award.
There were certainly many amazing feats in the OCAA's men and women's leagues. Although it is not unusual to find teams with names like Jackson and Jake, these names might be best kept hidden. The "George North", "George Davidson" and "George Davidson", among others, were unable to play in Round 2. However, the "Geoff Farrar," and "Gabe Davidson", stayed home to win. The Vikings and Lancers both won. The identities of the other contestants are unknown.
But, the OCAA's men's leagues are a different story. 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. They've made some significant moves, as evidenced by the scores they've racked up this season. 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. And if they can keep their heads, they'll be back in the winners' circle by the time they make it to the finals next year.
It is possible to also assume that other OCAA men’s league competitors will be trying for this title.
