Fittingly, it was in the fourth and final game of the exhibition series -- a full cap international -- that went Canada's way, 26-23, at Thunderbird Stadium in Vancouver on Saturday. Oakville's Phil Murphy, who once delivered Oakville Beaver newspapers as a youth, was one of four overseas professionals who came back to bolster the Canadian squad. Murphy, who worked his way up through both the Oakville Trafalgar High School and the Oakville Crusader rugby programs, had a phenomenal year with Perpignan, his professional club in France. And Murphy continued to make his presence felt with the national team, adding his fifth try in 11 appearances for the national team. Canada bounced back from a 23-13 deficit, led by one of its most capped players, A1 Charron (66). Canada had beaten Scotland 24-19 in New Brunswick in 1991, but the game was not considered a full interna tional because Scotland was missing some of its leading players. In their only other full test encounter in January, 1995 at Edinburg's Murrayfield stadium, Scotland defeated Canada 22-6. On Saturday, Scotland fielded a young but formidable side.

Phil Murphy also played for Canada in that game. Scotland also defeated a Canada `east' squad 38-8 on June 5 and a Canada `west' squad 14-9 on June 11. For Canada, thirteenth in the world, the victory over Scotland, ranked sev enth in the world, stops a nine game los ing slide and helps enormously as it pre pares to enter the upcoming World Cup qualifiers.

Longhorns tame Bulldogs 38-16 The Oakville Longhorns managed to tame one of their expected challengers last weekend with a 38-16 win at Bronte Field over the visiting North Bay Bulldogs in Northern Football Conference (NFC) action. The two teams were undefeated, at 2-0, going into the game. The `Horns are the best senior men's adult tackle football team in the country, having won the last two national cham pionships they have played in, as well as the last nine NFC league and playoff championships. After a close first quarter, which ended at 7-7, the `Horns put the game away with a monster second quarter which put them up 36-15 going into half time. Mike Dingsdale had a monster offensive game with four receptions for 103 yards and three touchdowns, all from forty-something pivot Mark Demerling of Burlington. Travis Anderson also caught a touchdown pass. On the ground, Dave Dinnall had 110 yards on just four carries, including one touchdown. Fellow running back Barrie Erskine · O akville Beaver Derwin Phillips had to work a little harder for his 105 yards, needing 14 carries. EYE CONTACT!
