RE Mountain Secondary player puts the hold on Aldergrove Secondary junior boys' rugby player in the Langley Shield game

The Aldergrove junior boys rugby team played a tough game against Mountain Secondary that saw the lead change four times.

Unfortunately for the junior Totems, frequent penalties halted many promising drives and the team found themselves trailing at halftime, 12-5.

In the second half the boys began to swing the momentum in their favour, with Tanner Cumiskey scoring the go-ahead try halfway through the second half. Pietro Romegioli made the conversion of the try to put the Totems ahead of the Eagles.

The team was able to hold off the late pressure applied by the opposition, however, a late penalty allowed the visitors to even the score on the final whistle at 17-17.

Aldergrove was able to win the Langley Shield back after a year's absence due to their overall season record, with wins over DW Poppy, Brookswood, Walnut Grove.

As Langley champions the Totems will be travelling to Port Moody this Wednesday for the first round of playoffs.
