Nova Scotia court hears arguments on why the Loney Bowl should proceed
HALIFAX — Arguments are set to resume in Nova Scotia court on Sunday in a Halifax university’s bid to get its team back into the Loney Bowl.
Saint Mary’s University is fighting to be reinstated in the championship game after a player eligibility issue derailed its title hopes.
Saint Mary’s was supposed to face off against Acadia in Wolfville, N.S. on Saturday. Instead, several players sat in the benches of a Halifax courtroom as lawyers clashed over the fate of the Atlantic University Sport (AUS) championship game.
On Thursday, AUS — the governing body for university athletics in Atlantic Canada — cancelled the matchup over the eligibility issue and awarded the title to Acadia.
