Kea on the links

Bert Kea replaces Scott Mullin as head coach of the Queen’s golf team, a moonlight position he has adopted in addition to the assistant professional post at Amherstview Golf Club. Amherstview will host the 36-hole qualifier to determine the five players and two alternates, and of the two dozen or so who are expected to vie for the spots, Kea expects some new recruits might challenge some of the stalwart veterans.Continue...

Back in the pool for CIAU hopefuls

The Gaels swim team, class of the Eastern division since the provincial athletic association split into three regions five years ago, should again dominate the traditionally weak division.
