NDSS’ defensive backs stepped up in a big way to help the Golden Hawks senior boys rugby team to a 15-7 victory over Frontenac in the KASSAA third place bowl Friday afternoon at Queen’s Nixon Field.
Zach Wheeler and Nash Kimmerly each had a try for Napanee while David Gustival kicked for five points.
That was all the team needed as the defense stood tall and limited the Falcons to just seven points.
The win secures a third place finish for the Hawks and also qualifies them for OFSAA, which will take place June 7-9 in Belleville.
