Concordia dominated the final from start to finish, leading 29-0 at halftime against a Bishop’s team that was undefeated in the tournament up to that point. The Stingers raised the Cup after a 34-0 final score.

Waterloo was leading against Concordia in the final minute of their semi-final, but the Stingers tied the match on the last play of regulation, and then won in sudden-death overtime.

Queen’s managed to hand Waterloo their second consecutive heartbreaking loss, scoring a try with under a minute remaining to earn third at the Championship.

Bishop’s also qualified for the final in dramatic fashion, scoring a try on the last play of the game to get past Queen’s before they faced off with Concordia.

In the hunt for the Challenge Trophy, RMC came out on top, beating STU en route to a meeting with Trent in the final. The Paladins defeated the visitors 24-7 to claim their prize.
