Getting the players to kit up and onto the field considering the temperature and the wind took a while, but they did. Once they warmed up, they really started cooking.  Our first game against Oakville 5 saw the 10 boys and 1 girl, power through their opponent. Oakville only ventured into our end once, while we touched down a total of 11 times for a 55 -5 win. An excellent showing by everyone, with those that saw their first contact action making strong contributions to the play of our veterans, Edward, Ringer and Jake.   Game two was against Toronto Scottish and again our side was victorious, 65 -10 . It was fun to watch the progress our newest to tackle players made, as they really stepped up and initiated contact and play, Zack, Calvin, got  right in there for key tackles. Cameron took a great run off a line-out, much to the delight of the coaches. Carson made an amazing tackle from behind to prevent a Scottish tri and Kevin and Brock almost put down late in the 2nd half.   Our last game of the day was originally to be against Oakville 3, but was changed last minute to Oshawa 2.  They were obviously a much stronger side and gave us a bit of a hard time. It was a tense first half with a strong contribution from Ringer scoring several try’s and displaying strong defense. By the second half we started to pull away with quick scores by Edward and Jaxon. Oshawa visited our house 4 times, including one near the end of the game despite a strong effort by Dana to drive him out of bounds. Highland touched down a total of twelve times for another strong win, 60- 20.   For our first full day of Contact Rugby, fabulous results. Thanks to all the parents who spent the day cheering and supporting our side. And Moms, it looks much worse than it actually is, just checkout all the smiles and laughter.
