Lions
win Gold Cup after defeating Wildcats 10 - 9.
The
North Shore Lions won the QBFL Bantam AAA Gold Cup champonship against
the Laurentien Wildcats on Sunday at Stade Hebert in St. Leonard.
The first quarter was played like a chess match,
each team effectively countering the other teams move. The
Lions seemed to have scored a touchdown on a punt return by #23 Cedric
Joseph however that was nullified by a Lions penalty. In the
second quarter the Lions offense finally got untracked thanks to the
power running game as #35 Marco Rossi busted thru the right side for an
11 yard touchdown, the convert was good and the Lions led 7 - 0. Later
in the quarter the Lions seemed to be marching down the field for
another major, however they had to settle for a 25 yard field goal by
#20 Shawn Steen. With less than a minute to go in the half, the
Wildcats scored their only points of the half on a field goal. Halftime
score Lions 10 Wildcats 3.
The second half was played much like the first quarter, both teams
struggling to mount any effective offense. In the final quarter
the Wildcats finally were able to score a touchdown, after a 35 yard
pass play, the Wildcats were able to punch the ball thru the Lions
defense and scored. However, they were unable to convert the
extra point as Shawn Steen busted thru the offensive line and was able
to deflect the extra point out of harms way. This play turned out
to be the difference in the game as both teams failed to score
another point.
As the final whistle blew, the Lions stormed the field and celebrated
another QBFL crown.
Shawn Steen of the Lions was chosen MVP of the game.
