The Battle of the Hill Looms

On the eve of the Big Battle to win the Hill at Burnaby Mountain, the Lighthouse Teams are quietly confident that they will take the Highland 7's

Practice has been going well, though at times a bit frustrating as we get closer to the big climb up Burnaby Mountain. Frustrating mainly because we want to do well and maybe we're overdoing it.
But all will be forgiven when the Hill is conquered and the Trophy comes down to the Shores of Burnaby Lake.
Three teams will be vying for the different honors: Elite Men, Elite Women & Social Men, all itching to prove and show off what the Coaching Staff have been coaching them. As in all tournaments, changes due to injuries or personal commitments are inevitable. On the Elite Men's side, injuries to Scott Plummer and Doug Breadon being away opens the door for Alex Roberts and Brandon Fairs to get back in. Also joining them is Steve Battie who played really well at the Vancouver 7's. The usual suspects are there still, and it should be a good battle on the Highland.
The Women's Division will also see some new faces as a few Canada Reps will try to prove that they can also do 7's. Julia Sugawara, Dr. Maria Gallo and Anna Schnell joins the team this weekend. It should be interesting as the two finalists fromn the CAN AM 7's want to meet again to settle the score in the Finals. But the Lighthouse Women's Captain, Melissa Miyazaki has other plans for them. Velox is also there to change some plans as well as hosts SFU.
But Captain Mel is saying to her Platoon, "Let's paint that Hill Blue & White"
KAUKAUWA!!!
