Dal 67 – UKC 5
It was tough sledding in the Men’s rugby season opener as they lost to rivals Dalhousie 67-5. After a slow start their defence improved as the game went on, led by Noah Lawless and Ryoma Mbuchi. King’s rookie scrumhalf Dylan Aleck made a smart play to pick from the ruck at the goal line for King’s lone score. The Blue Devils will look to rebound against Acadia. Noah Lawless was player of the game for King’s.

A close loss for the Blue Devils on their first game of the season. Tries from Keziah Funk and Taylor Saunders, complimented by a conversion off the boot of Jessica Gray gave UKC a strong showing on offense as the new squad looks to mesh better in their coming fixtures.
