Galt Pipers running with The Wolfpack

The Alexander Galt Regional High School bantam rugby team, recent winners of the (U14) ETIAC championship, are heading to Toronto next week to meet up with professional rugby league team, the Toronto Wolfpack. According to teacher and coach Jean-Francois Coley, the Galt players will be introduced at the game and have the honour of escorting the pro players out onto the field for their match. “Last year we had a great experience running bantam rugby for the first time. We had 21 kids sign up,” Coley said. This year, there were 32 players interested, but the team eventually dropped to 23, he said. “The boys from last year were ready to go in September, and wanted to start early. They even looked at participating in a tournament in Niagara Falls in November, but it fell through,” Coley said. See full story in the Thursday, June 7 edition of The Record.
