"He was almost stopped but he just kept moving his feet." After Loyola upped its lead to 10-0 on another first-half try, Aldershot got on the board when fullback Josh Alton took a kick, shook off a tackle and ran 60 yards for a five-point score. Graham Kelly followed with the only successful convert of the game. A 6 p.m. field curfew limited the second half to 20 minutes, but it was long enough for the Lions to put some pressure on the Hawks. "A couple of dropped balls... we were really close but they shifted on us," lamented Aldershot coach Ian Christie. "Same school, same outcome." Loyola put the game away when outside centre Mark Torres finished off a series of laterals down the left side of the pitch for the Hawks' third try. Loyola's team leader, fly half Zack Mulvale, said the victory wasn't easy. "Aldershot was definitely our toughest competition this year," he said in the midst of post-game celebrations. Only one player on the Lions, David Hunter, felt the sting of consecutive setbacks at the Halton finals. The inside centre scored most of Aldershot's points this year and was the team leader on and off the field, according to his coach. "He was by far our best player," said Christie. "He was our most experienced player -- one year under his belt -- the rest were all rookies and we still made it back to the Halton final." Loyola has won three Sr. titles in four years Continued from page 23 hanging around. We knew in the first 10 minutes it was going to be a different game," Crowell said. "There's very little the coaches can do once the game begins. It's really on the players to hold together and they did." Having won three of the four Division 2 titles in the last two years, Crowell hopes the rugby program will continue to grow. "We try to hook them in Grade 9," he said. "They seem to really like the team aspect of the game."
