May 4th welcomed the arrival of a boat load of the TWITS players. A touring side was returning from a cruise line while another 10 arrived from the mainland to bolster the ranks. It made for some formidable numbers. Ebb Tide players arrived in numbers also, being a normal practice day.
Despite warnings of thunder storms, the weather held up with just some light showers. On this day, the TWITS seemed to hold onto the ball much better and showed more aggression going into contact. They scored 4 times to the Ebb Tide 1 demonstrating some thunderous runs. Ebb Tide try scored by Jim Jimmo during a moment of more direct go forward play.
Not the performance Ebb Tide hoped for the last regulation match. Despite that, good fun was had by all back at the JBAA clubhouse. Ebb Tide chose Casey, one of the backs, as their TWITS Man of the Match. Jim Zosiak was chosen by the TWITS as their Man of the Match. On the other hand, the coveted Red Jacket went to our illustrious JP Lussier who has played his last match with us (or has he?) as he will be moving to the Courtenay area this coming June. Ebb Tide wishes all the best to him and his family. A great servant to the club!
