Press Release: Canoe Polo results Friday Nov. 16, 2001
GAME 1 Crushers Vs Untouchables: Gord deBruyn led the Untouchables with three goals and was backed up by Theresa Landman with two goals while Bill Souter added one point for the team. Souter defended net tonight with great success. The Untouchables were on fire this game and were victorious over the Crushers with a 6-0 game.
GAME 2 Paddlewailers Vs The MOB: This game was very energetic and both teams had some great plays. Scott Kerby scored the only point for the MOB which was assisted by Marie Burrell. The Paddlewailers' Brett Boughen was the powerhouse during this game and scored all four points on net. Brett was very enthusiastic this game and unknowingly made an illegal handtackle against opponent Ayla Kempton. In an attempt to push her over into the water she was pushed over onto another boat as it moved in to take possession of the ball. Since we are still learning and fine tuning the rules of the game, there was some discrepancy over this tackle. After double checking with the national rules, this indeed was considered a foul. The game ended in a 4-1 outcome.
GAME 3 Paddlewailers Vs Untouchables: This was a tough game and both teams worked hard for their points. There was a narrow margin of only one point this game. Mark Kelly scored two points for the Paddlewailers, following with Derrick Law and Brett Boughen each scoring one point each. The Untouchables are really working well together and are learning the game well. Gord deBruyn, Marie Burrell and Mike Swainson each scored single points for the Untouchables. Tally: 4-3 for the Paddlewailers.
GAME 4 Crushers Vs The MOB: The Crushers dominated this game over the MOB. The MOB was missing three of their regular players, due to illness and injury, so they borrowed some help tonight from other teams. Theresa Landman (of the Untouchables) scored the only point for the MOB and she was hot tonight with really powerful and fast paddling. There were many shots against the MOB's goal with a great effort by Karine Belanger. The win by the Crushers was led by Gary Morgan with three points followed by John Quinsey putting in the final point. The final game of the night was 4-1 for the Crushers.
