Simon Pacey of the Fredericton Loyalists makes the tackle on Matt James of the Belleisle Rovers during provincial rugby league action at Loyalist Field. In the background is Scott MacAfee, like Pacey, a longtime Loyalist. Fredericton head coach Keith McAlpine will be counting on his team’s experienced players to lead them past the upset-minded Rovers in semifinal play today. Kick off is 2 p.m. at Loyalist Field.
