After mishandling the opening kick-off, Douglas was penned up in their own end for close to twenty minutes. Numerous ball-handling errors and poor decision- making prevented the team from sustaining any sort of forward progress. UVic took advantage and took an early 5-0 lead. Only some sloppy play from the UVic backs kept the score from getting any higher. The sec- ond half was better for the home side, and yet too many rucks were lost and too many balls were dropped. Just when it looked as if nothing would go their way, the referee missed an obvious knock-on by fly half Jamie Callard and Laura Kinnear-Harmse scooped up the loose ball and dove in for a try. Despite the protests of the Uvic players and coaches, the score was tied with 15 minutes to go. With fivefS minutes left, another misdi- rected pass was scooped up by winger Amber Cummings. She found some space on the right side, then cut back and out-dis- tanced two defenders on a 75 metre scoring run. Douglas managed to survive the last few minutes and came out with a win that was likely undeserved. With the victory Douglas remains in first place, tied with SFU. The team has two weeks now to re- organize before facing Burnaby Lake in Burnaby on October 18. The Douglas 2nd Division squad fared considerably better, as they also remained undefeated with a 49-0 pounding of Vancouver Meralomas 2 Division team. The first half was evenly contested, but Douglas began to find cracks in the Loma defense and Tanya Leigh carried three tack- lers over the line to score the first try. Rikkilee Jones converted (7-0). Lisa O’Neill found the corner of the end zone before the whistle to give Douglas a 12-point lead. Several subs were used in the second half, but it did not upset the rhythm of the Douglas attack as try after try was scored. Leigh recorded her second try within min- utes of the re-start. Agnes Stefek made it 22-0. Jones scored the next 12 points with two tries and a conversion. Three more “touchdowns” were made by Katie Young, Nicole Edgson, and Laura Heer. Jones and Young were named as players of the match. Douglas rests until October 19 when they travel to Kamloops. THE OTHER PRESS IS HIRING! Ad Manager. 15 hours per week.
