The Brooklin Lacrosse Club (3-2) faced the Six Nations Chiefs (3-1) at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena in Hagersville, Ontario in Major Series Lacrosse action Tuesday night.

The goaltending match-up had Steven Orleman in net for Brooklin facing Doug Jamieson in net for the Chiefs.

While the Brooklin Lacrosse Club put up an admiral fight, the Six Nations Chiefs were just too powerful to hold down for three periods.

Led by Davin Bomberry (3g,0a), Josh Byrne (2g,2a), Lyle Thompson (2g,1a), Ryan Smith (3g,0a), and Dhane Smith (0g,5a), the Chiefs led from wire to wire.

The first period saw Six Nations jump out to a 5-1 lead on the strength of three goals from Ryan Smith. The third period saw Davin Bomberry complete his hat-trick, as well as Lyle Thompson with a pair of goals for the 11-3 victory.

The Chiefs got on the board first when Davin Bomberry struck from in front off a Shayne Jackson pass at 2:42, followed by Ryan Smith with a blast also from in close at 3:08.
