KAMLOOPS DEFENCE TOO MUCH FOR RAIDERS
Kamloops Rattlers and the Kelowna battled hard all evening switching leads at various points but in the end Kamloops was victorious, winning 7 to 6 to send the Raiders golfing for the remainder of the 2010 season. Kelowna ran into serious penalty problems in the second period but came back in the third to take a two goal lead but were unable to hold it. Kamloops capitalized on a couple of Kelowna’s lapses to retake the lead by a goal. Kelowna’s power play was shut down by Kamloop’s defence as Kelowna had a great chance to get back into the game late in the third.
Kamloops moves on to play the Armstrong Shamrocks in a best of three series for the league championship Rowcliffe Cup which replaces the former Shaw Cup for Okanagan Extreme Lacrosse Supremacy. This will be the first time in five years that Kelowna will not be in the final but players and coaches already are looking forward to next season.
The Raiders would like to extend their sincere thank you to all of their wonderful fans and generous sponsors!
