Havoc Open Season With Wins

The Men’s and Women’s Kent Havoc Rugby teams defended their home field Saturday, fighting off strong winds and strong opposition to open their 2013 Niagara Rugby Union season with a pair of wins.

The Kent Havoc Women hosted the Norfolk Harvesters and put up an impressive 38 points, defeating a shorthanded Norfolk squad 38-26.

After watching the women win, the Kent Havoc Men’s side followed up with a win of their own, beating a strong Waterloo County Club 22-17.

The games were a part of the Kent Havoc’s season opening doubleheader, which featured a “Ruck Cancer” fundraiser. The Havoc estimate they raised approximately $400 for the Canadian Cancer Society at the games.

Next Saturday, the Kent Havoc host another double header with the women playing the opening game at 12:00pm against the Hamilton Hornets. The men follow at 1:30pm facing the Bruce County Barbarians. Both matches will be played at the old CCI Field.
