Leslie honoured for work with Royal City Hyacks The head coach and vice-president of the Royal City Hyacks community football program has received the 2013 Vancouver Mainland Football League’s Rob Mountford Builder Award. Ryan Leslie is being recognized for his efforts to establish and grow the program in New Westminster and for his dedication, effort and creativity in making the club a success. Leslie trains and develops new coaches, coordinates volunteers and many aspects of the program such as its website, promotions, finances,

HOOP BRIEFS
New West boys beat Panthers The New Westminster Hyacks downed the Moscrop Panthers 67-61 in the first round of the Burnaby/New Westminster senior boys basketball playoffs Tuesday. They were to meet the league’s top finishers, the Byrne Creek Bulldogs, who had a 17-7 record overall this season and were ranked 10th in the last provincial AAA Top 10 poll, in a semifinal match Wednesday. The other semi featured the Burnaby Mountain Lions and the Burnaby South Rebels, who finished second in the league. The Lions downed the Burnaby North Viking 78-48 Tuesday. The BNW final and the third place game will be played Friday
with three teams advancing to the Lower Mainland tournament.
Senior girls setback The Hyacks senior girls squad suffered a setback Tuesday after getting upset 70-50 by Burnaby Mountain in a first-round playoff matchup. They were coming off two league victories last week, 72-36 over Byrne Creek and 88-43 over the Burnaby North Vikings. That gave them a 5-1 league record, good enough for second place behind the Burnaby South Rebels (6-0) and ahead of the Lions (4-2). New West will be playing a wild-card game at Byrne Creek on Friday in hopes of reaching the
Lower Mainland tournament.
