Family day and Ravens Victory: Success! – Journée famille et Victoire des Ravens: Success!

Frank — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 12:52:48 +0000

This past Saturday the Westmount Ravens held their first Family Day, and what a gorgeous sunny day it was! The festivities kicked off with an Old Boys match against Rookies, with the Old Boys teaching a lesson to the young ones! This was followed by an exhibition of drills by the juniors. The participation from the community and supporters was fantastic, with families and supporters alike coming out to enjoy the games and the BBQ, which was available throughout the day. At noon, the Senior Ravens kicked off against the NDG Exiles. The game was a fast paced, no hold barrels affair, with Guillaume Themens scoring his first of 3 tries in the opening minutes of the game. Charles Marsh also obtained 3 tries during the game. The final score was Westmount 66 – 14 NDG. The other tries were scored by N. Corne, J. Moody, P. Stoyanov and J. Marrel and U. Landry- Tolszczuk.

WRC would like to thank everyone who made this day a success, the Old Boys, the Juniors, the supporters, the NDG Exiles and the referee. We’ll see you next year!

Westmount 85 – 0 Laval

Frank — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 14:09:24 +0000

History was made by the Westmount Rugby Club on Saturday, with the greatest victory in the club’s 135 year existence! Decades old records fell as The Ravens beat the Laval Nomades 85-0. The Ravens were greeted with scorching heat and a tough Nomades outfit but that didn’t deter the Ravens from breaking new ground. The game got off to a quick start with Julien “Golden Boot” Marrel slotting a penalty in the opening minutes. Shortly after, he would score his first of 2 tries in the game. On a contested line out, won by The Nomades, the Ravens applied strong defensive pressure which forced Laval into an error and Marrel capitalized to score. It would be the story of the day. The Raven’s fitness would prove to be the major difference, Laval wilted under the blazing sun and a relentless attack and unyielding defence. There were three club records broken on the day*. Most points in a single game (85), greatest winning margin (85) and most points scored by a player in a match, Julien Marrel with 35 points. The Man of the Match was awarded to fly-half Jamie Fortunaso for his scything runs and great set up plays which contributed greatly to the tally of 12 tries scored in the match. Other players to pick up a brace of tries were N.Corne, P.Stoyanov, and A.Sampson. One try each to J.Moody, R.Cuda, J.Fortunaso and K.Marks-Beaubrun. Marrel converted 11/12 with one penalty.

WRC would like to thank the Laval Nomades, the referee François, and all the Ravens support crew and supporters.

L’histoire a été réécrite ce samedi par le Club de Rugby de Westmount, avec la plus grande victoire du club en 135 ans d’existence! Des records vieux de plusieurs décennies ont été battus par les Ravens en battant les Nomades de Laval 85 à 0. Les Ravens ont été accueillis avec une chaleur torride et une forte équipe des Nomades, mais cela n’a pas découragé les Ravens. Le jeu a connu un début rapide avec Julien “Botte D’Or” Marrel marquant une pénalité dans les premières minutes. Peu après, il marque son premier de deux essais dans le match. Sur une ligne de touche contestée mais remportée par les Nomades, les Ravens appliquent une forte pression défensive qui a forcé Laval à commettre une erreur que Marrel a converti en un essai. Ce serait l’histoire du match. La bonne forme des Ravens se révélera être la différence majeure, tandis que Laval s’effritait sous un soleil sans pitié, une attaque implacable et une défense inflexible. Trois records du club ont donc été rompus dans le match*. Le plus de points dans un seul match (85), la plus grande marge de victoire (85) et le plus de points marqués par un joueur dans un match : Julien Marrel avec 35 points. L’homme du match a été décerné au demi d’ouverture Jamie Fortunaso pour ses courses tranchantes et sa vision du jeu qui ont contribué aux 12 essais marqués au total. D’autres joueurs ont aplati dans l’en-but à deux reprises : N. Corne, P. Stoyanov, et A. Sampson. Un essai a été marqué par chacun des joueurs suivants : J. Moody, R. Cuda, J. Fortunaso et K.Marks-Beaubrun. Marrel a réussi 11 transformations sur 12 en plus d’inscrire une pénalité.

WRC tiens à remercier les Nomades de Laval, l’arbitre François, et toute l’équipe de soutien Ravens et les supporters.
