The Oakville Beaver, W e d n e sd a y O c to b e r 31, 2001 - D3 Playoff bound in first year The Oakville U-19 field lacrosse team made it into the play-offs in its very first year of operation. Unfortunately, the clyb lost its quarterfinal playoff game to Ottawa on Sunday, Oct. 28, in overtime by a score of 10-9 and was eliminated from further play. Oakville fought back from a 7-3 deficit in the third quarter and took a 9-8 lead into the last minute of regulation time. However, Ottawa, the favourite going into the game, tied it up with seconds to go and then added another in the extra peri od to win the game. Scoring for Oakville were John Hibberd (3), Josh Smyth (2), Kyle Johnson (2) Ryan Shaw and Andrew Kingston. Oakville goalie Mike Willis (a member of the Oakville Buzz junior B box lacrosse team) played a stellar game in nets. The defence, lead by co-captain Geoff Farrer, Craig Henderson, both teammates of Willis on the Buzz, and Oakville midget grad Nick Ledderhof were solid all game. During the season, the Oakville players, whose average age is 16.5, in a league made up mostly of 18 and 19 year olds, improved steadily. Coach Bruce Donovan feels that the team will be a serious contender next season and was very happy with the team's progress, despite the tough loss against Ottawa. During the regular season Oakville's goals were scored by Junior `A' players Eric Beatty (12) and Ryan Shaw (9), midget player Patrick Farrer (8), Buzz player Paul Winger (7), David Cosmo (6), Kyle Johnson (5), John Hibberd (5), Oakville ban tam standout Garrett Ince (5), Josh Smyth (4), Shawn Gonneau (3), Mimico Jr B player Matt Walsh (2), Andy Hunter (2), James Walsh, Kyle Fountain, Chris Butt, John Barton and Henderson and Geoff Farrer. Oakville now has a junior field lacrosse program which will only improve as Oakville's minor field system graduates more players. Oakville's minor teams (novice, peewee, bantam and midget) play their field lacrosse games in April and May, before many of these players head into the arenas for the sum mer box lacrosse season. The U-19's, are junior players, who are 17 to 19 year olds, mostly. Their field lacrosse season is in the fall. Some of the league players are also on university teams, so the games are held on weekends in September and October. The teams play 13 league games and then the play-offs, which culminated on Oct. 28 in Oshawa. Incidentally, Niagara Region won the gold medal game in the A division against Oshawa. Peterborough beat Halton Hills for the B champi onship. Anyone interested in playing should contact Oakville Minor Lacrosse Association. Halton high school sports round-up Kyle Jones is top local finisher: 13th at OFSAA O akville m issed out on the medals at the OFSAA track and field cham pionships in O ttaw a on Saturday. The best finish was Q.E. Park's Kyle Jones in junior boys with a 13th place finish. But h e's likely not too ecstatic with that, having fin ished fourth in the junior cat egory the previous year. The only other top-20 fin ish from the Oakville contin gent was R ichard Garton, also o f Q.E. Park, who had a real good run to finish 17th in his first year in the senior category. Not surprisingly, his Q.E. Park senior boys team posted the best result of the Oakville contingent, just missing the medals with a fourth place finish. The entire senior team placed in the top 100 -- all easily inside the top half of the 231-strong field. A thletes qualified for OFSAA at the recent G-HAC (Golden Horseshoe Athletic Conference) meet. The top two team s advanced from each division as well as the top three individuals (not on a qualifying team). G-HAC results w ere in Sunday's Beaver.

Park * top four counted towards team total ** to advance to OFSAA a team had to finish top two at the recent G-HAC cross country championship. As well, the top three individuals, not on the qualifying teams, also advanced. Full G-HAC results were in Sunday's Beaver. *** the top finisher in each category is listed, as well Cru also had second and third teams in last weekend's semifinals (Continued from page D1) compared to 12-1-1 for the Cru, were fashioning a David and Goliath story in these playoffs, dumping host Balmy Beach in extra time in last weekend's quarterfinals and shocking the visiting Crusaders the previous week 15-8. Fortunately, for the Cru, in the somewhat con voluted playoff structure, it wasn't an elimination game, but just made their lives tougher by forcing them onto to the road for the previous weekend's quarterfinal game, which they won 18-0 over Gttawa Irish. It was their fourth straight road game. Their win set up last Saturday's rematch with Brantford -- this time at the Cru's Ninth Line home turf and this time with the Cru fully pre pared. Any lingering disbelief about Brantford's play o ff transformation were quickly erased with Brantford opening the scoring on an early penalty kick (3-0). The lead would change hands several times -- including a final 15-13 lead for Brantford early in the second half -- before the Cru were able to nudge ahead for good. Even then, there were some tense moments as they had to preserve their final 32-25 margin. Brantford's scoring all came via the penalty boot with their kicker good on four of five first half kicks (with Brantford trailing the Cru 13-12 at the half) and then good on his first second-half boot, which gave Brantford their last lead of the game at 15-13 (they had earlier led 3-0 and 6-5). The Crusaders, on the other hand, had failed to hold earlier leads in the first half of 5-3 and 13-6 before taking the lead for good in the second half at 18-15. They then increased it to their biggest lead of the game at 26-15 only to have Brantford, at one point whittle it down to less than a try at 29-25. Besides leading the team as captain, Ryan Morrison also led the Cru scoring charge with three tries and two penalty kicks (for 21 points). Guy Vorster actually provided all of the insur ance points with the final six points on two drop kicks through the uprights. Stewart Riley also had a try, which put the Cru up 18-15 (erasing the final Brantford lead of 1513). STRONG PROGRAM The Cru showed the strength of its rugby pro gram with both their second and third squads also seeing playoff semifinal action last Saturday. The second team finished first in the regular season in a close race but then squeaked in to the final round in the fourth and final spot. That did come back to haunt them as they lost 25-12 to top seed Balmy Beach. Balmy Beach will face Yeoman in the championship game. The third team won 30-11 in a rematch over Aurora. They will face Balmy Beach in the cham pionship game. The above two games are also on the McCormick Cup slate at Fletchers Fields with the thirds at 11 a.m. and the seconds at 12:30 p.m. COME CHECK OUT OUR NEW OFFICE ' .-ft o O A K V IL L E G Y M N A ST IC S C L U B W IN T E R SE SSIO N o ' > /^ y v JANUARY 5 - MARCH 8, 2002 376 KERR STREET November 15,2001- 9 am to 7 pm (905) 8 4 2 -5 5 5 6 « °a J . ; R E G IS T E R N O W !
