Martin Walter General Manager Northwind New Wildcat Shines On A Sloppy Saturday To Help Slay Demons After coming off a very successful trip to the Nation's Capital in Round 4 vs. the Swans, the (3-1) Wildcats again hit the road to face the (1-3) High Park Demons this past Saturday at Humber College North. On what could be described as very sloppy conditions by most Canadians, it was typical footy weather for those "down under" and the visiting 'Cats were hoping to escape without getting too bloodied on the day. Despite missing several key starters for the second match-up between the 2 Clubs (Hamilton winning the 1st game by 128 points at MSP), the 'Cats were again blessed by their influx of new recruits in '09 and still were able to rock-up to Humber North with 24 keen players. High Park was not so lucky, as they needed to pull from eager spectators roaming the sidelines to field a full 18, but it wasn't the numbers that looked to keep this a low scoring affair…it was the weather. Right from the opening bounce the pitch was sloppy and so was much of the play. Hamilton used their size to win the contests in the guts, with Nolan & Craig "The Cyclops" Watt working well together and giving Justin "4 weeks in the UK was MORE than enough" Johns heaps of ....Continued Shorthanded Wildcats Get The Upper Hand In Nation's Capital Over Stallwart Swans After picking-up 2 very solid victories on their home turf versus the High Park Demons and Central Blues respectively, the Hamilton Wildcats packed their bags and headed East to the Nation's Capital to take on the (0-3) Ottawa Swans. Despite their overall record, the Swannies have given every Club that they've faced in '09 their fair share of headaches with a very hard-nosed style of play and were looking to play spoilers at home versus the visiting 'Cats. The beautiful scenery of the Rideau Carlton Raceway was the backdrop for the 3rd ever match-up between these 2 Clubs, with Hamilton holding onto a 2-0 series record and looking to add a 3rd win to their tally. Ottawa was coming off a very impressive effort versus the undefeated Toronto Dingos, and were definitely hoping to take the undermanned Wildcats by surprise ....Continued Hamilton Gives Central The 'Blues' With Solid Round 3 Victory At M.S.P After a very impressive 128 point win over the High Park Demons a week earlier on their home ground, (1-1) Hamilton was primed to face the always tough (1-1) Central Blues in what looked to be the "Match of the Round". Since the final horn of the '08 OAFL Grand Final had sounded, both Hamilton & the Blues have seemingly made several very solid off-season recruiting moves and front office changes in hopes of making a run towards the Finals in '09. This Round #3 match-up was definitely going to put both Clubs to the test, as many eyes around the league were fixed on the scoreboard to see who would survive this epic battle and come away with a very important 4 points in Hamilton. Since both of these Clubs had faced each other last season (Blues coming away with a hard fought 50-47 victory over the 'Cats @ Humber North), many wholesale player changes have been made and deciding which Club had the upperhand on paper would be ....Continued Vastly Improved 'Cats Claw Their Way To Victory Over Visiting Demons After a very strong showing during their slim Round #1 loss to the power-house Broadview Hawks, the Hamilton Wildcats headed home to the cozy confines of Mohawk Sports Park to face the (0-1) High Park Demons to kick off their '09 homecoming. The 'Cats seemed to have opened a few eyes around the OAFL with their strong effort in their opening match-up versus one of the league's top sides, and hoped to carry that same momentum home against the struggling Demons. Veteran ruckman Paul Lawson picked-up exactly where he left off from Round #1, winning the opening bounce and dropping the footy directly into the muscular arms of rover Mike "Abs" Nolan who delivered a bomb into the 'Cats forward line eventually leading to the first "sausage roll" of the game from CHF ....
