Men Reggae Warriors Fall to Canada In Brampton
Wolverines’ fullback Oliver Lenahan was the star of the show with 22 points, as Canada’s men beat Jamaica 42-6 in a senior international for world ranking points at the Terry Fox Stadium, Brampton.
The hosts were dominant throughout, leading 26-0 at the break having posted five tries, Lenahan with the opening score on eight minutes followed by two from winger AJ Kosempel. Returning skipper Blake Mahovic then went over with the first of his brace and Lee Keegel completed the first half dominance.
Canada men’s head coach, Aaron Zimmerle, commented: “What a great a great way to end our international calendar for the season. We had some changes of personnel but every man that stepped up has been outstanding in their effort, especially youngster Henry Daho - it just shows the depth in Canada is growing.”
Adrian Hall went over for Jamaica’s sole score but Canada finished with a flourish with three more tries in 15 minutes from Charles Curren, Lenahan and Mahovic who ran the show.
“We missed too many tackles,” said Jamaica coach Roy Calvert. “I was pleased with how we started the second half and it was six-all for quite a while in that but we fell away at the end. We had some guys making their debut and that bodes well for our future.”
