Myles Martin Weekly Alumni Report for October 15
The men are back in action this weekend after a break to celebrate the Thanksgiving weekend. The1XV take their show on the road to Brantford and will kickoff against the defending McCormick Champs. The last time we played Brantford was at the end of August pulling off a dominant 48-24 win. Lets keep this winning momentum going and punch our ticket to the McCormick final in Oakville on October 24. Kickoff is at 3pm.
The 2XV are at home this weekend against the Scottish. If you recall, we beat them in September 45-21. The faithful lined the sidelines dawning the blue and gold that day and we need that same energy again. The winner will be playing for the Gee Gage cup next Saturday. Kickoff is at 2pm.
Lastly I wanted to pass along some information regarding Stew Gage’s Celebration of Life. It will be held at the club on November 14. Please see the flyer below.
