KINGSTON, Ont. – The Queen's Gaels are back to back champions after a 40-10 victory over the Western Mustangs in the 2013 OUA Men's Rugby Championship at Nixon Field, Saturday. Eight man Matt Mullins (Belleville, Ont.) and fly half Adam McQueen (Canmore, B.C.) led the Gaels with ten points each, with Mullins scoring two tries and McQueen kicking five for six successful conversions.

Playing under less than ideal conditions at Nixon Field, the Gaels got off to a slow start. The Mustangs took advantage of this, kicking an early penalty goal kicked by Mike Turnbull (Oakville, Ont.), to give them a 3-0 lead over Queen's. The Gaels soon found their rhythm, and in the 29^th minute Mullins scored his first try of the game, and McQueen kicked his first of six conversions, giving the Gaels a 7-3 lead over Western.

The Mustangs reorganized their defense, and pushed hard to find a gap in Queen's back lines. With minutes left in the first half Western Captain Ade Ojo (Whitby, Ont.) scored the first try for the Mustangs, with Turnbull kicking the conversion. Western had the lead 10-7 at the half.

The second half saw the Gaels gain momentum and go on a 33 point scoring run. James Dent (Toronto, Ont.) scored the first try of the second half for Queen's, with McQueen kicking the conversion. Tommy Kirkham (Vancouver, B.C.) followed up Dent's try with a try of his own, further extending the scoring margin between Western. Adam McQueen kicked the conversion. Brendan Sloan (Peterborough, Ont.) added another try to the Queen's score board, McQueen kicked another conversion, slotting it between the uprights.

The Mustangs continued to try and find an opening in the Queen's back lines, but were never able to bring the ball over the line. In the last ten minutes of play Jacob Rumball (Scarborough, Ont.) contributed another try to Gaels score board, Adam McQueen narrowly missed his conversion. Matt Mullins scored his second and final try of the game in the 75^th minute, while Adam kicked a sucessful conversion, bringing the Gaels to a 40-10 victory over the Western Mustangs and earning them their second back to back OUA championship.

The Gaels take home the Turner Trophy for the 19^th time, and their second win since 2009. With the win, the Gaels finish the 2013 season with an undefeated record.
