OFSAA
Report #3 - On To The Quarters 11.03.06The RND Panthers fought a valiant battle this afternoon in Scarborough during the OFSAA Quarter-Final match versus Oakville Trafalgar. Both teams had good scoring opportunities in a very well played first half where players were able to show their skill in several end to end rushes. RND began to use their fitness to their advantage as they held the field advantage throughout the second half. The Panthers pressed on several occasions and once seemed to have scored when the ball dribbled across the goal line. Minutes later a surprising bounce on a defensive short corner left the Panthers vunerable and a solid strike ended RND season. In the minutes after the game the disappointment of the sudden end to the season was unavoidable. However, with some time and perspective RND players and fans will certainly realize that the Panthers were true to the spirit of the Garnet and Gold and added volumes to the reputation of Canada's Oldest English Catholic School.

Good Luck Panthers. Panther Three-Peat for Field Hockey 10.25.06 With all the offensive power the Panthers displayed during their unbeaten season it was a defensive play, a penalty stroke save by keeper Whitney Desarmia, that preserved the shut-out season and ignited the offensive fire that carried RND to victory.  A determined group of Falcons from Frontenac held off the Panthers in the first half and the contest was certainly in doubt at half-time. RND came out and received an almost instant energy boost when Casey Tulk scored less than two minutes into the second frame on a onetimer from Laura King. The scoring contiued as Laura King, Casey Tulk and Kate Gillis each added goals. 16 minutes later the ball had rarely crossed into RND's defensive half and the 4 - 0 score had confirmed the Panther's dominance of the KASSAA field hockey league. Whitney Desarmia added another shut out to make her season total 8 in all. Congratulations to all the RND players. They should be commended on their dedication, determination and the team effort that has been displayed throughout the season. Their next goal is only a week away, as they strive for excellence at OFSAA in Scarborough. Preview the Provincial Championship at the OFSAA Field Hockey web site: Click Here.
