In the Gryphons fourth game of the regular season the team traveled west into the Tri-Cities area to take on the Waterloo Warriors in the premier event of Waterloo's home coming. Looking to gain more ground in the standings the Gryphons wanted a clear cut victory but had to settle for a 24 all tie at the end of the match.

The scoring started early for the Gryphons in the first half.  Flyhalf Sean Sinel scored his first try of the season under five minutes into the game as a result of the Gryphons strong defensive pressure that caused a Waterloo turn over deep in the Warriors end.  Rookie Joe Newman was good with his foot scoring the first of two conversions on the day.  Play see-sawed back and forth between the two teams before the Warriors were able to score their first points of the day with a converted try of their own at the 25 minute mark.  Only minutes later, Mike Reid found the in goal area for the Gryphons to put them back on top and with a Newman conversion the team was again back up by 7 points. The lead would not last long as Waterloo scored another converted try before the end of half.

The second half was a near mirror of the first with neither team wanting to give and inch and play was back and forth.  Waterloo was the first to score with two uncovered tries within the first 15 minutes.  The second part of the half was all Gryphons as they took over play and dominated field position.  Mike Reid scored his second try of the day and was followed by Mark Dinsmore who scored his first try of the season.  Without a conversion on either of the two tries and no time left in the game the Gryphons had to settle for a tie.

The Gryphons were disappointed with finishing the game in a tie.  The two additional points for a win could be critical for placing down the stretch going into playoffs.  Putting the disappointment behind them, the Gryphons will begin preparations for next weeks game against the Queen's Golden Gales at home on Varsity Field.
