Toronto Arrows News Release
The Arrows showed strong resolve to fight back and earn two bonus points in a narrow 29-27 defeat to the New York Ironworkers on Saturday afternoon, but the match will largely be remembered as the day a hometown player announced himself on North America's biggest stage.
Local product D'Shawn Bowen scored a hat trick - executed in an electric, up-off-your-seat fashion - in his full debut for his hometown team, sparking a comeback effort that fell just short at York Lions Stadium.
Captain Lucas Rumball added the bonus-point try in front of more than 2,000 fans at Toronto's home opener, while Sam Malcolm booted a conversion and a penalty goal to bring his points tally to an even 50 on the campaign.
