PRESS RELEASE
Nov. 9th, 2001
Canoe Polo action on Friday night was awesome! The four teams put on a great show.
Two teams, the MOB and the Untouchables, were missing team members so players from other teams joined and assisted them in their evening of fun battle.
GAME 1 Paddlewailers
Vs Untouchables:
The Paddlewailers were a tough match for the Untouchables who won by one
point with a score of 4 - 3. Derrick Law, Brett Boughen, and Andy Hyde each
scored for the Paddlewailers. Marie Burrell and Mark Kelly each scored once
while Scott Kerby shot two balls into the net leading the Untouchables to their
win.
GAME 2 Crushers Vs The
MOB:
It was a shutout game for the Crushers! Their name is true to their nature,
crushing their opponents in a 6 – 0 match! Garry Morgan led the team with
three goals and two assists. John Quinsey had one goal and two assists and
Vernon Beebe helped out with two goals. Even though it was a shutout game it was
an action packed game and in the fury the MOB’s Sue Deforest accidentally
rammed (T-Boned) opponent Tavis (no last name given) in the side causing his
boat to flip. Tavis was stunned but ok. This is a highly illegal move, and
frowned upon, and because it can occur, safety gear (padded life-vest) is
important to wear.
GAME 3 Paddlewailers
Vs Crushers:
This was a challenging and high-energy game; both teams played very good
offence and defense. Gord deBruyn scored the only goal on net this game,
securing the win for the Paddlewailers, in the second shutout game for the
evening, with a 1 – 0 score.
GAME 4 Untouchables Vs
The MOB:
These teams were a good match and both teams played strategically. Mark
Kelly, Bill Souter, John Quinsey, and Tavis (unknown last name) each scored
single points for a tally of four points for the MOB. Marie Burrell who scored
two points led the Untouchables. Scott Kerby, Theresa Landman and Mike Swainson
each scored one point, assisting the Untouchables to a victorious 5 – 4 win
over the MOB.
You can watch the action Friday evenings from 8pm to 9:30 pm at the Lions Pool. See you out there!
