St. George’s 8 - 12 Shawnigan Lake
St. George’s met their Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»Island rival head-on, nearly defeating the perennial champion Stags and proving they are far from the underdog they were dismissed to be.
On a stormy afternoon at Rotary Stadium, the Saints opened the scoring off persistent rucking. They led 5-0 and clutched an 8-7 advantage off the foot of Will Sauder, whose convert and penalty kicking has been a weapon all season.
But with 10 minutes to play, Shawnigan Lake scored the winning try to lead 12-8.
Owen Pitblado made a gutsy play to wrestle back the lead with only minutes on the clock, but he was thwarted by the team that has won seven championships in the past eight years.
