Winning streaks end

by Clint Longley

The Douglas College rug-
by club dropped two out of
three games to the Surrey
Beavers last Saturday at
Lord Tweedsmuir.

The first division lost 13-7,
the third team lost 20-9, and
the second team won by a
9-0 score.

Both the first team and
the third team were handed
their only defeats of the
year.

The first teams winning
streak was ended at six
games and the third team,
who were previously unde-
feated in seven games, had
six wins and one tie.

In what can be termed an
upset the division one team
gave up an early lead.

Ahead 7-3 early in the
second half the Douglas first
team threw an interception
that was returned by the
Beavers the length of the
field for a score.

‘“We got a little cocky and
Started pressing too hard.
Then we got unnerved and
they caught us with a sucker
punch,’’ explained coach
Gert van Niekerk.

Rob MacDonald scored a
try for Douglas and Russ
Lawriekicked a penalty goal.

Inexperience played a
major role in the third teams
loss to Surrey.

First year Phys. ed. stu-

dent, Peter Bricker, scored a
try and Davinder Deo kicked
a penalty and a convert.

‘‘We were really hurting
in the forward area, Surrey
was mostly made up of
veterans while we had a lot
of rookies and it showed,”’
said Nierkerk.

The second team extended
their winning streak to five
games after last Saturdays
win.

Benny Boon kicked a con-
vert and a penalty goal
Len Lemieux lead Douglas to
victory with a try.

The semester is coming to a close but both the men’s
and women’s volleyball teams are beginning to prepare
for their first tournament November 22 and 23, at BCIT.

The women’s team got a good workout last weekend

against Capilano, BCIT, and VCC during a playdate at
BCIT.

by Greg Heakes

They came up on the short end of the stick winning
only one game over Langara by a 16-14 score.

They play another exhibition game this Sunday against
a Senior B team at BCIT.

The men’s team will get their first real test this
Monday when they take on BCIT at the BCIT gym.

Last year Douglas finished fifth in their division while
BCIT finished sixth.

The Douglas coach, John Lussier, has scouted BCIT
and feels that his team has three or four players that
stand above the BCIT players but the don’t have the
overall strength that BCIT has. It should be a good
match.

Anyone from the Coquitlam or New Westminster
campus who feels like getting out and enjoying a good
fun game of basketball should go out and watch the
challenge game to be played November 18 at teh
Winslow gym.

Admission is only 50 cents and the proceeds go to the
United Way Fund.

For the second weekend in a row the women’s field
hockey team had their game cancelled because of rain.

Coach, Sant Kular (I got it right!) has his team
currently in first place and undefeated.

Weather permitting they hope to resume play this
weekend against Exbrit, at 12:00 Sunday, at the Burnaby
Sports complex.

I'd like to make mention of one little rumor that has
been travelling around the sports circuit here at Douglas.
It seems that there is an unidentified, frustrated
playground athlete posing as a Douglas College
student and playing on a team: (Who is this man?)

 

 

Time: 12:00-1:00 pm.

Admission: 50cents
