Beach Outstanding in Vancouver 7s Win

Talk about achieving greatness and doing it in a fashion that was nothing short of brilliant. When Old Puget Sound Beach (OPSB) got to Connaught Park in Vancouver, BC the team had a mission - to not only compete, but win.

On Saturday, five teams witnessed, in awe, just exactly what they could do.

The first game of the elite bracket of the Vancouver 7s saw Beach face Bayside Ambassadors and was all OPSB from start to finish 41-0. It started with a quick try from Mike Nelson. Quickly thereafter, Isimeli Daveta got the ball on the wing, stutter-stepped a defender, and was off to put OPSB up 14-0. And for the next 10 minutes, it was more of the same with Beach managing to squeeze in four more tries before the final whistle blew to end the bleeding for Bayside.

OPSB matched up against defending Vancouver 7s champs Burnaby Lake in the next game. Though Burnaby Lake was the first to put up points, OPSB settled in for a 40-7 thrashing. Winger Alipate Tuilevuka scored his first of three tries, while Nolan Allen broke an impressive run by breaking two tackles en route to a much-deserved try. Tuilevuka then scored back-to-back tries with excellent ball movement to put the game away with less than two minutes to play. After the game, Coach Evan Haigh seemed to be confident, but also cautious about the road ahead.

“Even with two victories like these, I knew we hadn’t really achieved anything yet,” Haigh told RUGBYMag.com. “Offensively we were up to par, but defensively I wanted to make sure we make our presence known and keep setting ourselves higher goals.”

Those chickens almost came home to roost in the next game, OPSB’s closes. The Young Bucks from British Columbia scored first on a brilliant try from their talented back line. Tuilevuka then worked his magic again after a superb pass from 7s legend and OPSB coach Waisale Serevi to dart for his fourth try of the day. Then, an unexpected try put a kink in Beach’s winning formula. The Young Bucks sneaked in a score to cut the halftime lead to 14-10.

However, Beach didn’t show any signs of panic.

When the second half started, OPSB put away any confidence the Young Bucks may have had going in. Nolan Allen scored two tries in a row to put OPSB up 21-10 with just a few minutes of play. Then Miles Craigwell saw a lane between two Young Buck defenders, hit it and never looked back on his way to a 45-meter try for a 28-10 lead. The Young Bucks would put up one more try, but OPSB was too far ahead to be concerned.

Be Happier Tip: What Did Your Dad Teach You That You Still Do ...

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there!

I bet that no matter what kind of relationship you had with your own dad, there are some things he taught you that you are still doing — hopefully these are good things!

But of course we also learn from example what NOT to do in life and in our relationships.

I invite you to leave a comment and list some of the GOOD things your dad taught you how to do!

One of mine, is when I was a kid in Texas, I helped him paint our house one day (I hope I was a help, not a hindrance at the age of eight!) And while we were working side by side, he taught me how to whistle! I still love to whistle now and then, and each time I do, I’m taken back in time to a sunny day in Fort Worth when my dad took time from his busy life to patiently teach me how to whistle a tune.

I never did learn how to whistle by putting two fingers to my lips like some kids at school did. But I’m happy with what I’ve got!

Now, it’s your turn. Let’s honor our dads with nice memories.
