The York Region club was seeded second to Sarnia\u2019s fifteenth ranking, a wide margin as evidenced on the day. <\/p>\n<p>Next Saturday, the first round winners will meet in quarter-final play and advance to the championship round while the losers will go to the consolation rounds. Aurora will host London St. George at Fletcher\u2019s Fields, number ten London having squeaked by number seven Oakville Crusaders in a rematch of last year\u2019s Cup final 51 to 50 in a game played at London.<\/p>\n<p>Scoring for Aurora in the rout was Michael Neely with four trys, Bryn Davies with three, Jesse Walker with two and singles going Sean Sinel, Dan Resnick, Matt Chown, Najeeb Obadi, Nolan Ott and Connor Libby. Davies added eleven converts for a total of 37 points on the day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need two good sessions this week to adjust our play for London,\u201d Coach McLeod added. \u201cThey are very dynamic offensively and have an outstanding playmaker in Derek Daypuck, a former National team player and current Ontario Blue. Derek is always a threat.\u201d<\/p>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox\"
