2019 so far

so far 2019 looks better.

We played in the Monte Heald tournament in early May but we did not win our division (I was not able to make it) but we had some new players (but not sure whom/

If you are interested in details Norfolk Harvesters wanted to play up in the Niagara A division (they had easily won the B division over the last several years) but they did not have enough players for a second team so I said we would be their second team. So when Norfolk plays away we go first against the other team seconds and when Norfolk is at home the visiting team has to send the second team to Grimsby.  Sounds good even though we know when we are playing away we sill get some of the first from the opposing team.  .It seems more interesting than playing the same teams we have been playing the last few years.

Week one ( May 11, very early) : We were to play Hamilton at home but we could not get on our field so it was postponed to August 10th

Week two (25th of May)  : We played in Guelph against the Redcoats (again I was not there so this is just hearsay -  I was singing at a concert near Port Dover and did very well - not hearsay). I also had a nice fish dinner afterward.

Team: (1) Nick Lord, (2) Skylar ? (3) Milli?, (4) S.U.M One (5) Vic Blaney (6) John Fraser (7) Brendan Sculland (8) Myron Jurychuk (9) Daniel Prentice-Chowen (10) Derrick Weber (11) Josh Thompson (12) Will George (13) A. N. Other (14) Joe Sanders (15 Laughlin Hill

We had some fill ins from our new big brother team Norfolk

Grimsby scored first with a long run from Dan bur Guelph countered .  Then Vic scored  but near the end of the half Guelph got another try

Half time Grimsby l0 and Guelph 10

The second half was mostly Guelph (entirely in terms of scoring) - they scored  3 more tries with 4 converts

Final Score Grimsby 10 and Guelph 29.

We are just getting started.

Noteable Happening: Josh Thompson a high school player from Grimsby Secondary School in his first league game (not counting the Monte Heald tournament) got a yellow card which seldom happens in Grimsby to anyone not named James We don't think that it has happened since Skully decided to take on a bunch of players in Windsor back in 2011 in his first game.
