The Salmon Arm Secondary Senior Golds rugby team now sit in third place heading into provincials after blanking Penticton 19-0 last week.
After a strong storming run down the centre of the field, Travis Bruce off-loaded the ball to winger Cody Jordan who scampered through the Penticton line for the first try of the match.
Nic Ough and Brett Barnard provided solid rucking out of the scrums, allowing the Golds to catch the Lakers flat-footed and gaining imposing field position.
Doug Harrison evaded a score of the Penticton Lakers defenders, running the width of the field to score a try in the corner.
The Golds stretched the play out wide when Clack Bibby received a pass from Brandon Sanford along the sideline, tiptoeing in to the end zone for the Golds third try of the game.
On conversions Hunter Lampreau was close to perfect, kicking two of three and tacking on four points.
The Senior Golds head to West Kelowna to face Mount Boucherie in the first round of playoffs this Thursday.
A win would see the Senior Golds battle for the provincial championship.
Junior Golds
In a hard-hitting nail biter of a match last week against fierce rivals Fulton, SAS won 19-14.
Mighty-mite Drew Bannister got things rolling for the Junior Golds scoring a try 12 minutes into the match.
Alex Muir made the conversion giving the Golds an early 7-0 lead over their rivals from Vernon.
After that Fulton were on their heels, and failed to keep up with the pace of the Golds.
Bannister played a major role in the Golds’ second try of the game, setting up Ryder Fortes on the blind side to score the try uncontested.
The sizeable visitors responded with two quick tries, stealing the lead 14-12 in their favour.
Ultimately the quick speed and finesse of the Golds was too much to handle and Travis Beer weaseled his way between three Fulton players to get over the try line.
Jacob Simmonds and Tyler Chartier proved to be a formidable pair on defence, as they were a part of every tackle.
In a play of miscommunication, both players crashed into each other while trying to tackle a Fulton player and required stitches.
The Junior Golds next game is this Friday at Jackson Field versus Vernon Secondary.
