Wednesday, October 3, 2001 THE OAKVILLE BEAVER D3 Crusaders 2-0 in McCormick Cup The Oakville C rusaders, who finished first in the top Ontario Rugby Union (ORU) league this past season, have also had a good start to their M cCorm ick Cup defence. The Cru im proved their prelim inary round record to 2-0 with a 42-12 win on the road at Fergus. T hey're also on the road on Sat. Oct. 13 against O ttaw a Scottish. Despite their first place finish, the Cru was given only one home game which they won last w eekend, 33-17 over Brampton. The Highlanders from Fergus put up a stern first half fight, and trailed the highly touted Oakville squad only 14-5 at the half and then only 14-12 soon after the restart. With things getting a little too close for com fort the Cru pack picked things up a gear and steam rolled their counter parts to lay the foundation for a decisive victory as the Cru ran in another four unanswered and converted try's to maintain top spot in the prelim inary pool standings. haltonsearch.com The Cutting Edge Hockey & Skating Academy Gliders Learn to Skate Classes for 4-9 year-olds · provides beginning skaters with fundamentals to tJecome independent and confident on the ice - limited or no skating experience. · CSA approved hockey helmets are mandatory.

Rebels competed in prestigious English Riviera International The Oakville Rebels girls U -l6 soccer team had an extremely successful season, the highlight being a trip to Exeter, England to compete in the prestigious English Riviera International Cup. On home turf, the Rebels finished second in the elite divi sion with a record of 11-2-1, both losses coming at the hands of London who went undefeated to capture the league title. Although this was their first year at the elite level, the team quickly established themselves with a blend of solid defence and lightning quick forwards. Besides their strong league play, the Rebels won the West Niagara tournament in May, defeating a strong London team 1-0 in the final. The highlight, though, was the English Riviera International Cup in which they were a very respectable 2-21 against tough international opponents. In the opening game against the local Exeter team, the Rebels started slowly and found themselves down 2-1 at the half. However, it was a completely different performance in the second half as the Rebels scored four unanswered goals to win 5-2. Breanne Faley led the attack with two goals while Sarah Mason, Jessica Povilitias and Jessica Moniz added singles. The second game was against the Swedish national cham pion Malmo and although the Rebels lost 3-0 it was their best performance in the tournament. The difference between the two teams came down to fin ishing, with the Swedish girls converting while the Rebels hit goal posts and crossbars. Game three was against highly regarded F.C. Kitsap from Seattle, Washington. This was a must win game for both teams with a lot of hard tackles and intensity. The first half was dominated by the Rebels who had their speed to keep the Americans on their heels. The continuous pressure finally paid off when Jessica Povilitias opened the scoring. The sec ond half proved to be a different story as the Americans got stronger while the Rebels tried to hold on and protect their lead. Eventually, Kitsap were able to penetrate the tough defence and equalize with only 10 minutes remaining. The game ended 1-1 which meant the Rebels could do no better than third. Next up, Oakville recorded a 2-1 win over another Swedish team, Hallesakers from Goteburg. Oakville goals were scored by Jessica Moniz and Ri Ann Zombeck. As the tournament reached the last day, the tie against Seattle proved to be the difference between playing for the championship and just playing another game. Unfortunately, the disappointment of not reaching the final round resulted in a mediocre effort to finish the tournament with a loss, 1-0 to a team from Wales. Overall, the team were outstanding ambassadors for Oakville and Canada. Throughout the tournament, the Rebels received accolades for their play and sportsmanship. The team also had the opportunity to attend two pre season English Premier games featuring Sunderland. The Rebels would like to thank all of Oakville for the sup port they received prior to the trip.
