NOVEMBER RUGBY: Women take Fall Series centre Stage  6th November 2009

The McGill  Rugby Women played John Abbott's Women's team  on a cool last Wednesday evening. It  was terrific Fall series Rugby.

 

 

       

 

Abbott featured Ste-Anne's star player and Swedish bombshell Tanja Andersson, and she should benefit immensely from the strong opposition John Abbott faced. Kim Carriere watched the game from the sidelines, but vowed to come to the Awards banquet despite being banned by  Juniors Coach Degraff. 

 

 

                 

 

On the McGill side Mongeau and Trisch Walsh were in evidence. A good sized crowd bundled up to watch the game, and in the "We knew we had it in them department," Taryn and Katie Gauley showed off their table top dancing skills.

 

 

        

 

There was other action on Halloween night, and most of it centered  around 23 St-Pierre. Holly showed up as a chicken, while her cousins Sawyer and Piper were a lion and an orangutan respectively. All three tied  with Payne for top prize and each won tons of extra candy.

 

 

          

 

       

 

There was a wicked pumpkin competition which despite the best efforts of Lavery  and Stone was won by Cedric.

A moderately sized group went downtown to party at OO on Mountain Street. McAffrey and Bobby were authentically dressed as bus boys. Anita had by far and above the best costume. You couldn't see her even when you looked up close. (She's the wild clown). The Wanderers won the award  for best costume, despite having no less than three people dressed as  priests, one as a nun and several as a school girl or two. A good time was had by all.

 

 

         

 

 

       

 

 

        

 

  

 

        

The Fall series continues next week with a game at McEwen field, probably against McGill. It could be a classic McGill vs Macdonald game, so  don't put your cleats away just yet. There should be game time for many  and any players. Watch this space and come out to poker. Last poker game was won by Stone.
