December 3, 2011 Birds and Totems go down in defeat on the weekend
Both of our UBC teams that were playing for some hardware this weekend came home empty handed. The Totes lost to Kamloops 27-6 in the third division final and the Birds got hammered 45-7 by the UBC Ravens in the Bowl final. In the Totes game it was men versus boys and the older,stronger Kamloops group put a stamp on the game in the second half, shutting out the younger guys while adding another 17 points. Congrats to Kamloops but why aren't you guys playing in the 1st division where you belong?
It was boys against men in the senior game as well, when no less that 10 varsity players were not available due to injury or academic committments. UBC did manage to score against the play to go into the half down 26-7. Four more UBC players left the game while the Ravens added four more tries to runaway with a 45-7 victory and a firm grip on the "Moore Mug".
The students have exams and will put down the boots for pen amd paper for the next couple of weeks. Back at it, January 3rd.
