Fury Head Coach Jeff Poulton was happy with his team’s effort. “I am proud of the boys, they played hard. After Uxbridge came back to tie the game the kids dug deep
and pulled it together. Our goalie Mikey was outstanding and the kids are putting there game together at the right time. We still have a lot of work ahead of us to prepare for the provincials, but the boys showed that they are up to the task.”

KLMLA President Paul Hough added “We’re proud that our Peewee team is continuing to build a winning tradition for Kawartha Lakes Minor Lacrosse. These kids have come together through tough stretches and an unbalanced schedule to emerge as a team to be reckoned with as they head to provincials. We’re proud of how they have represented our association and the Kawartha Lakes community.”
