The St. Christopher Cyclones
took the title by a single
point in the 14 - 13 win
over the Northern Vikings.
This was a big win for the
Cyclones as Northern had
previously defeated them
twice with scores of 13 - 0
and 25 - 0.
After the first half both
sides were scoreless despite
Northern having the
advantage as St. Christopher
received two yellow cards
and played short.
Early in the second Northern
scored 3 points on a penalty
kick.
St. Christopher
came back scoring the first
try and kicking the
conversion for a 7 - 3
lead.
Northern
scored a try but missed the
conversion to take an 8 - 7
lead. St.
Christopher's regained the
lead with a try and
conversion kick to up the
score to 14 - 8. In
the final minutes Northern
scored a try and narrowed
the gap to 14 - 13 after
missing the conversion and
in a final attempt the
Vikings attempted a 50 yard
kick that was just missed
and the final whistle blew
shortly after giving the
Cyclones the win and title.
"It was a tough game, it was
back and forth the whole
game but we ended up pulling
it out and was able to hold
Northern off", said Head
Coach Graeme Weaver "it was
the best season the Junior
Cyclones ever had."
Ryan Lyle and Hayden MacLean
scored the tries and Josh
Elsley made both kicks for
the Cyclones.
