Old Boys

From the desk of Wade Gowl:

  • Congratulations to Ryan “Rhino” and Diana Latosh on the birth of their baby girl, Adrina Estelle on February 10, 2009!!!

  • We had just enough to pull out a last minute victory v North Bay this past Saturday, 25-22. Old Boys are allowed to no show but we wish you would do it more evenly and not make the no-shows all backs. You’re giving backs a bad name. We had to put in Brian Walker, a reappeared old boy from many years missing, in the back line to start off. And he did ok. A good time was had by all.
