Eagles fall just short as sister club Delta thrashes Saints

Eagles vs Cougars

The Burnaby Eagles fell just short of causing the upset of the round going down by 9 points to the Vancouver Cougars after leading at every change.  With 13 players unavailable including last year’s best and fairest winner Dane Bergman, the Eagles’ endeavour was outstanding and outclassed their more fancied opponents for the first three quarters.

The signs are very positive for the remainder of the year and finals.

Eagles     12      9   81

Cougars  12   17   89

Goals:  Shawn, Handley 4; Aaron 2, Paddy, Sam

Best: Sam, Adam, Gino, Freemo, Shawn, Dan, Handley

Delta Bay Hawks vs WC Saints

Delta smashed a complacent Saints team on Sunday by over 100 points.  The Bayhawks completely outclassed the Saints from the bounce and had winners across the field bot Canadian and Australian.  In their last hit-out before touring Australia with the International All Stars, Clayton and Andrew put in confidence boosting performances on the back of a dominant midfield performance from the Whistler crew.

Scores:

Delta   21   17   143

Saints    5    6     36

Goals:  Too many to name

Best -  Whole side but standouts included:  Shaun, JC, Connor, Wolfy, Gibbo, Matt, Payne, and a new guy called Chris
