2 Silver Medals in a Row!
The Intermediate Griffins had a very
successful weekend in Peterborough taking home the Silver Medal in their
Division. The Final was a tough game for the Griffins considering they
are ranked B/C while participating in an A/B Tournament. This was their
second game of the day and their opponents, Brockville had almost 24
hours of rest. The game was close right into the third period with the
Griffins barely trailing 3-1 but the team was showing signs of fatigue
and they were getting pretty badly bruised up. Not to mention the fact
that they were 4 men short, the Griffins gave it their all but came up
just a little short. In the end, the score was 8-2 for Brockville but
the score wasn't truly indicative of the game. A huge congratulations
goes out to the Intermediate team for their valiant and very successful
efforts.
Just one week later, the Intermediates entered the Cornwall Lacrosse Association tournament and hoped to repeat or improve upon their success in Peterborough. In the first game they faced Kemptville and beat them 4-1. The next game was against the host association, Cornwall and the game ended in a 3-3 draw. Kahnawake was able to beat them in the third game 5-3 but the final round robin game was a 7-3 win over Longueil. This was enough to earn them a spot in the semi finals where the Griffins beat Cornwall in a close game, 3-2. Despite battling injuries and illnesses and a short bench, the Griffins played a strong game but Kahnawake held on to beat the 6-1 for the Championship. Two great results in two weekends for the Intermediates. Great job!
1812 Field lacrosse Shootout - Sacket's Hbr, NY, July 10th
On July 10th, the GLA will proudly march south of the border to Sacket's Harbor, NY to represent the GLA and Canada at the 1812 Shootout Field Lacrosse Tournament www.1812shootout.com. Three teams are being created from the different Griffins teams to make up teams at the Grade 3/4 level (2000 and 2001), Grade 7/8 (1996 and 1997) level and the JV (1994 and 1995) level. This is a one day field tournament and hopefully it will prove to be a fun day of competition while exposing our players to the "other" game of lacrosse while continuing to develop our lacrosse programs.
