Rebels default out

"You're not made of sugar, you won't melt if you get wet."

Famous words that the Rebels wished they had lived by as they defaulted their third game of the season and were disqualified from playoffs. A disappointing end to a great season.

Wet and cold

Not sure what happened at Thursday's game. It was just too wet and cold for this Rebels reporter...

Rebels 7 Maroons 3

Perhaps the Rebels should get some retro uniforms for indoor?

The Rebels put five goals past the Maroons' goalkeeper on Thursday, with the Maroons themselves scoring two own goals for the Rebels. With one more game to go in the regular season, the Rebels will find out soon how they fare in the playoffs. Anyone interested in playing for the Rebels in the upcoming indoor season should talk to Bryan.

Rebels forfeit to Cougars

The Rebels had lots of opportunities in front of net

The Cougars couldn't break the Rebels' defense

Is the colour of GiGi's shirt lavender, plum, lilac, violet, pomegranate or wine?

The Rebels were forced into another default this Thursday but confidently beat the Cougars in the ensuing scratch match. It was generally agreed upon by the Rebels that Irfaan was to blame for their forfeit. However, despite the long list of absentees the Rebels played well. Gregg found security behind a face shield and recorded a shut-out in net. The Rebels also saw "The Return of the Max" from Scotland and young D.J. Waller in the crowd. The excitement proved all too much for D.J. as he slept peacefully through the entire game.

Rebels 7 Warriors 0

Steve uses what Mother Nature gave him to shield the ball

Ahmed was a constant threat on the left wing

Despite missing some of their key players, the Rebels dismantled the Warriors this Thursday night with some fine passing. An Ahmed hat-trick had the crowd (the injured Nessie) going crazy as the boys and girls in purple racked up a high score and sent Jess back to the Golden Bears with a shut-out. After the game it was over to the Kilkenny for some refreshments and chicken wings as hot as the Rebel's current form!

Rebels 2 Maroons 3

The lights went out at the UofC turf after the game

Bryan most likely comes to field hockey to escape the little atomic bomb that has gone off in his house, but this Thursday he got no reprieve from little terrors as the Maroons' 4'2" forward caused him problems all night. Just like the colours of the teams' uniforms, the game was close and at times indistinct in what was another disappointing result for the Rebels. The biggest disappointment of the night seemed to be when Max found out that no-one was going for beers and hot wings because Irfaan was working the early shift the next morning.
