Warriors Battle Hard in 25-18 Clash but Excalibur Secure a Late Victory

Warriors catch the ball in lineout.

This Saturday afternoon, the Waterloo Warriors were on the road to face the Trent Excalibur.

The Warriors got off to a strong start, with an early try and a successful penalty kick from Philippa Reid (Halifax, NS), whose consistent accuracy this season has been impressive. They added another try to take a 13-0 lead. The Excalibur then made a comeback with two tries, bringing the score to 13-10. The Warriors responded with another try, extending their lead to 18-10. However, the Excalibur turned the game fully around with a series of three back to back tries in the final moments. The match ended with a final score of Warriors 18 - Excalibur 25. Despite the Warriors' strong opening, the Excalibur's late surge ultimately shifted the momentum, leading to a challenging finish for the team.

The Warriors will look to build on their performance from today's game as they face the Western Mustangs next Saturday, September 21, in London, ON.
