BROCK 81, TRENT 0
PETERBOROUGH, Ont. - The Brock Badgers men's rugby team rounded out the 2008 regular season schedule with a convincing 81-0 victory over the Trent Excalibur Saturday afternoon on the road.
The Badgers opened the game in their usual fashion, penetrating the Excalibur defence early and often, opening up a substantial lead in the first minutes of the match. While Brock carried the ball, creative patterns and sharp passing opened gaps for scoring opportunities; yet, the occasional mishandling of the ball allowed Trent some chances as well, from kicks.
The Badgers had a balanced offence led by Jon Cregg (Oshawa, Ont.) with 3 tries, and Rory McDonell (Brantford, Ont.) who recorded one try and six converts for 17 points. McDonell finished the regular season as the OUA leading scorer with a career high 87 points including three tries, 24 converts and eight penalty goals.
Mike Berry (Trenton, Ont.) and Adrian Lui (Oakville, Ont.) contributed with two tries each. J.T. Rowbotham (Lindsay, Ont.), Matt McIlvany (Stoney Creek, Ont.), Richard Huff (Barrie, Ont.), Tom Clancy (Lindsay, Ont.) and Craig Talbot (Port McNicoll, Ont.) all chipped in with one try each, while Levon Kvas-Rothwell (St Catharines, Ont.) and Hugh McDonell (Brantford, Ont.) each had a conversion.

The Mustangs played a very physical game again the Gryphons, with both sides trying to make plays. The tension in players was evident, as at one point in the game, a fight almost broke out between two teams.
Western responded to attacks by the Guelph with good tackles, physical runs and well-timed passes. However, Guelph did not give up and continued to exert pressure by making plays and scoring tries, which kept them in the game until the very end.
The Western victory was secured when Trainor intercepted the Guelph's pass and scored an easy try late in the game, one of three on the day.
Western ends the season with 4-2-1 record, while the Guelph ended their season with 4-2-1 record.
