Coach Sarah Fifield appointed the DAL AC 'rider of the show' to Emily O'Leary for being a proven consistent superstar! She placed first in her class yet again and was very humbly shocked about it. She rode 'Berlin,' a rather challenging horse that was almost pulled from competition after warm up for 'naughty' behaviour. Emily, however, made her jump around the course with a consistent pace and flawless execution of the obstacles. Great ride Emily!

Men鈥檚 Soccer

Oct. 18 vs Crandall

A hard fought game with emotions running high ended in a thrilling 4-3 win for the RAMS giving them their second win on the season and solidifying 6th place in the league.

Oct. 19 vs Holland

For the team鈥檚 final game of the season none expected the RAMS had the tall task of hosting the leagues number 1 team, Holland College. After losing their head coach Craig MacEachern to controversial call the night before (forced to sit out the following game as per league rules after being tossed for arguing the officials decision and sticking up for his team) DAL AC came out and left everything on the field. This was a game to remember with the boys earning a 3-3 tie stunning their opponents. The RAMS now enter the offseason with plenty of optimism of what lies ahead and a strong foundation to build on for 2020.

Sian Rankin, playing in her last game for the RAMS scored again bringing her season total up to 9 and good for 3rd place in the league scoring race. In 4 years with Dal AC Sian has 43 goals and will once again (4th time overall) be an ACAA 1st Team All Star!
