Many players are making their mark in rugby, with the current season in full swing. Here's a list of seven Bay of Quinte players who have made it to the top.
The first round of the championship saw the likes of the Loyalist Lancers, the Kingston St. Lawrence Vikings, the Peterborough Fleming Knights and the Oakville Sheridan Bruins all gracing the pitch. A few of the top names are however on the wrong side. Even the Loyalists aren't yet on the right side of the scoreboards at the beginning.
Top honours in terms of most coveted trophy go to the Loyalists' shirt's top whose name is engraved. James Lowe (former Leinster stalwart) is this man. He has a lot to his credit.
Except for the fight with the winger mentioned, there were some notable performances from the region’s top guns. In particular, the Loyalists' scout hat was a sight to behold, albeit one that may not be for the faint of heart. Although it's not a home run it is still a remarkable feat for the team.
With a few hiccups, the Loyalists newest entrant had its moments. Britt Whiting and Christine Vandertoorn had impressive scores. Amanda Blair's performance was, however, the highlight of the event. The kicking game won the day, even though she was the OCAA Female Rugby Player of the Week award recipient. Blair made the most of the windy conditions and scored three penalty kicks.
There was certainly no shortage of impressive feats to be found in the OCAA's men's and women's leagues. Although it's not unusual to see teams named "Jackson" or "Jake", such names might be better kept in the shadows. "George North" (and "George Davidson") were both injured and had to miss Round 2, while "Geoff Farrar” and "Gabe Davidson” stayed home for victory. The Vikings and Lancers still won. The identities of the other contestants are unknown.
The OCAA men's leagues have a completely different story. Despite being on a losing streak, reigning champs the OCAA is not in the dark. However, the Vikings & Lancers have proved to the OCAA that they're not limited to Kingston. These two have made some big moves as shown by the scores they've earned this season. Considering they're only a few rounds into the competition, they have the chance to nab a top-four finish and claim the elusive top spot. They'll be back in their winners' circle next year if they keep their heads down.
It is also possible to predict that other OCAA men’s league contenders will be trying for the title.

How To
How can I start Base Jumping?
Base jumping (also called free-fall Parachuting) allows participants to jump from fixed objects (usually cliffs), including bridges, towers and buildings, with no equipment attached. The participant jumps off the object and uses their parachute to land safely. It's similar to skydiving but you don’t have to wear a parachute or hold your breath as you wait to open it.
A wingsuit-type base jumper, is the most commonly used. A wingsuit is two pieces of fabric joined together. One piece covers the chest and arms, and the second piece covers the legs. The jumper wears special boots that allow him/her to stand upright during flight. Jumpers tend to pull their feet up tight during descent. This causes the material that covers the legs to gather and form a large volume of air under the jumper. When the air pocket grows large enough, jumpers can open their parachute to land safely.
Base jumpers can use powered suits in order to accelerate their speed through the air. The main components of powered suits include a backpack that contains batteries and a jacket with a jetpack. These small rockets fire small jets of hot-gas at high speeds. This creates thrust which propels the jumper forward. However, these suits tend to be loud and heavy.
BASE jumping is a sport that many people don't understand. Learn how to BASE Jump. Be aware of the risks. There are several ways you could die doing this activity: falling off a cliff, hitting an obstacle head-on or upside down, or colliding with another jumper. Although BASE jumping can be dangerous in some cases, it can also prove to be extremely dangerous if done wrong. Be sure to follow the safety tips below before you attempt to BASE Jump.
You can start by learning BASE jumping skills on a smaller hill. Before jumping from a bigger hill, you should take a few moments to become familiar with the terrain. Pay attention to weather conditions. If the wind isn’t blowing, don’t jump. Foggy skies are another danger. If you can see more then 10ft ahead of you, you may need to wait for the clouds to clear. The third thing you should do is make sure that you have all the gear. Be sure to have the right gear. Fourth, you should have a plan. Ask someone to join you if things go wrong before you leave the ground. Never jump by yourself. Always have someone to watch over you.
