The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 62 Iron Hides utilized a well balanced offense to defeat the Robinson Design and Drafting Razor Claws 36-0 in Atom Division action. Josh Manning led the victors with a pair of majors with other touchdowns counted by Jack Vozza, Parker Wyant, Ben Aguiar and Brody Nesbitt.

The other Atom Division game was a competitive affair with the Sylvan Learning Centre Fire Bolts and the Optimist Club of Sarnia Lakeshore Inferno battling to a 24-24 draw. The Bolts led 18-12 at the half on touchdown runs by Zavier Mitchell, Cameron Rand and Shane Knight. Sean O'Rourke and Nathan Tremblay countered for the Inferno. Tremblay's second touchdown of the game tied it for the Inferno but the Fire Bolts replied on their very next possession with a 5 year run by Shane Knight for his second touchdown. O'Rourke then tied it for the Inferno and rounded out the scoring in this very entertaining game.

In the Bantam Division, the Mechanical Contractor's Association Toros built up a 26-0 halftime lead on 2 touchdowns by Ethan Kerby and single majors by Joe Rose and Jackson Grasse. Zachary Tremblay added a convert. The teams traded touchdowns in the second half as Kerby counted his third and Aiden Wildfong sped 65 yards to the end zone for the Mammoths.

In the final game, the Jim Easson/Brian Guenette Exit Realty Grizzlies survived a scare from the Bigras Painting Tiger Sharks and hung on for a 28-19 victory. The Grizzlies opened up 14-0 halftime lead on 15 and 35 yard runs by Avery Smiley and a convert by Justin Cain.

The Sharks put their first points on the board in the third quarter when Dylan Hiltz drove to the end zone from 9 yards out to narrow the lead to 14-6. Hiltz scored again on the Tiger Shark's next possession making the score 14-12 for the Grizzlies. Smiley who turned out to be a one man wrecking crew for the Grizzlies and accounted for all their touchdowns, restored their 2 possession lead on a 66 yard run, which was successfully converted by Cain to make the score 22-12.

The Tiger Sharks got that one back as Austin West galloped 62 yards to once more close the gap. A convert by Hiltz made the score 22-19. Smiley rounded out the scoring for the victors running 77 yards eluding tacklers that appeared to have him trapped behind the line of scrimmage. The game was a hard hitting affair that took a physical toll on both teams.
