Men's Rugby remains undefeated with Homecoming win over Toronto


KINGSTON, Ont- (October 14 2017) The undefeated Gaels (7-0) to toppled the Varsity Blues (1-6) in a homecoming classic with a 78-0 victory.

GAME FLOW:
The undefeated Gaels wanted to put on a show for the homecoming crowd as they tried to remain without a loss this season. The first try was scored within the first minute, after a Toronto fumbled pass, Johnathan Ezer (Toronto) drove it in the end zone for the first try. Tries in the first were scored by Evan Underwood (Toronto), Gilad Miller (Toronto), Patrick Lynott (Kingston, Ont.) and Dylan Young (Toronto).

The Gaels were just too fast and agile for the Varsity Blues, consistently beating their defence, and managing their way into the Toronto zone. The Varsity Blues had ample opportunity to score, but the Gaels' tackling kept Toronto behind their end zone.

The score at the half was 47-0

The second half started strong, Stephen Lockhart (Oakville, Ont.)took one in for a try early. Multiple tries in the second were also scored by Davin Killy (Bowen Island, B.C.), and Dylan Young. The Gaels remain undefeated, with a final score of 78-0.

BY THE NUMBERS
78- most points put up by the Gaels this season.
7- wins in a row this season.

FINAL SAY
"We set our own standard, we don't set our standard based on the team we play and I think the boys really stuck to that…. It wasn't about how much we scored, but how we scored and how we stuck to our system."
- David Butcher on the key to the victory.
