The Warriors are excited to announce some great news for the upcoming 2017 tackle football season. Paul Gowans will be returning to the Warriors to join our Pee Wee staff. Paul is a Warriors alumni and coached with our program for years. Most recently, Paul is the Athletic Director at South Carleton H.S. He currently coaches their wrestling team and for many years, Paul was head coach of the football program at South. Unfortunately, South no longer has a football program which is their loss but our gain.
Paul will be working on the offensive side of the ball for our newly named Pee Wee Head Coach Richard Baylin. This will not be the first time the two men shared time on the gridiron for the Warriors. Many years ago, the two played together with our Club. “Rich is a class act. His last stint as head coach was with our Mosquito club in 2015 where he oversaw an 8-0 season. Rich was with our Pee Wees last year preparing for his transition to Head Coach. We’re excited to have Rich in this new role and back together with his old Warriors teammate” – Paul Stewart, Warriors President
Rounding out our Pee Wee core coaching staff are Geoff Forsyth. Geoff is a long-time Warriors coach and was our Mosquito Head Coach in 2016. Joining the three men will be George Stengel who was our Mosquito OC last year.
Best of luck this upcoming season gentlemen!

Bring on the playoffs!
Our Mosquito team has a bye week this weekend but our Tykes, Pee Wees and Bantams will be competing. This week’s game for our Tykes will be a sudden-death game to be able to proceed to the C-Cup semi-finals. They’ll be competing in Brockville at the Commonwealth Public School at 10:00 (Tyke game details) vs the Rideau Redblacks. The two teams faced each other October 4th at the Warriors inaugural Homecoming Day in a tough battle which saw the Warriors lose a 0-6 nail biter.
At the same location and on the same day, the Warriors Bantams will be looking for a different outcome with the Redblacks to their Homecoming Day match up. The Bantams play at noon (more game details). This will be a rugged battle that you won’t want to miss.
Our Pee Wee club plays the next day, Sunday, October 18th at 9:00 a.m. at Beckwith Park Field against the 5-3 Gloucester South Raiders (more game details). Our Pee Wees are the NCAFA Western Conference Champions this year. The 7-1 Warriors won the conference title for the second straight year and for the 5th time in the past 6 years! The Raiders are always fast and tough so our Pee Wees will be looking for all the support they can get. Let’s get there Warriors and cheer on our Pee Wees!
If you haven’t had enough football this weekend, our sister club at the Midget level (17-19 year olds) the 6-2 Bel-Air Norsemen will have their quarter-final playoff against the North Gloucester Giants at Notre Dame School field at 3:00 p.m.
Get rested up and be ready to cheer with all you’ve got Warriors!!! GO WARRIORS!!! #Warriors4Life
