RUGBY AROUND CAMPUS:  Mac College Resurgence, McGill Preview, JAC German   30th September 2008

The Macdonald College Rugby team is seeing a strong resurgence this year with over 
20 members. They have had close games against John Abbott and a good win over Ste-Anne's third XV in  the Fall series. These matches have kicked off what looks like an exciting season. 

The JAC Rugby Islanders are also under way and 2008 looks as though it will be a tough year to repeat as CEGEP champs. Other College teams in the League are looking strong. However, there there is some help in the form of  a giant Hoffman look alike from Germany. Other strong players include Ste-Anne's Grillo, Belvedere, Hayden, Luc and the ever improving Jughead.

The McGill Martlets Women's team look like they could make it to the finals despite a disappointing pair of losses to Universite de Laval. Yerbury and  Mongeau head a team coached by Vince DeGrandpre, Jessie Matiaszuk and John Lavery.

Of course, we must also mention that Concordia University Stingers are in contention too, particularly with all star forward Vanessa Grillo back in action.
