Toronto Lions RFC This playing field was the exact opposite of the Island field, as it was built on clay; and after a heavy rain, the water sat around in pools for weeks, which slowly turned into stagnant, smelly mud-baths. After a few lean years, Tom Kilburn took over the reins in 1997, bringing in fresh blood from his generation; and the PAWS went undefeated in the four games they played that year (the PAWS were also the mainstay of the "Seconds" during this rebuilding year).
