There are many international players making their mark with rugby's current season. This list features seven Bay of Quinte products that make the grade.
The championship's first round saw the Loyalist Lancers as well as the Kingston St. Lawrence Vikings and the Peterborough Fleming Knights, along with the Oakville Sheridan Bruins, gracing the pitch. A few of the top names are however on the wrong side. Even the Loyalists can't seem to make it past the first stages of the game.
In terms of the most coveted trophy, the top honours go to the man who's name is emblazoned on the top of the Loyalists's shirt. James Lowe, an ex-Leinster stalwart who holds a lot of points, is that man.
Aside from a tussle with the aforementioned winger, there were a few notable performances from the region's top guns. The Loyalists' scout helmet was especially impressive. Although it's not a home run it is still a remarkable feat for the team.
The Loyalists new entrant did not have many missteps. Britt Whiting's stunning score and Christine Vandertoorn’s incredible score are two of the highlights. But the best of the lot was the display by Amanda Blair. Although Blair won the OCAA female Rugby player of week award for her efforts, the winning game was her kicking. Blair took advantage a cold wind to kick three penalty kickes while also winning the player of week award.
There were plenty of remarkable feats found in the OCAA men's or women's leagues. Although it is not unusual for teams to be named "Jackson", or "Jake", they may be best left behind. The "George North", "George Davidson" and "George Davidson", among others, were unable to play in Round 2. However, the "Geoff Farrar," and "Gabe Davidson", stayed home to win. However, both the Vikings (and the Lancers) won. Names of other contestants remain a mystery.
It's a very different story for the OCAA male leagues. Despite being on a losing streak, reigning champs the OCAA is not in the dark. However, the Vikings & Lancers have proved to the OCAA that they're not limited to Kingston. The scores they have accumulated this season show that they have made significant moves. Although they're just a few rounds away from the end of the competition, they could be in the top four and take the prize for the top spot. They'll be back in their winners' circle next year if they keep their heads down.
It is also possible to predict that other OCAA men’s league contenders will be trying for the title.
