London Beefeaters 65
Hamilton Hurricanes 3
The Beefeaters dismantled the Hurricanes on Saturday afternoon with the defence allowing 61 yards of total offence, while their own offence gathered 688 total yards.
Quarterbacks Brody Fairbairn and Brady Miller combined for 18 completions for 333 yards and five touchdowns. Nick Szigeti had a game high 120 receiving yards on four receptions and had two touchdowns as did Karson Douglas. Tavis Gall added a major from 20 yards out.
On the ground they chewed up 364 yards led by Elijah Prosper’s 123 on 11 carries, and he scored a touchdown. LJ Dyer got into the endzone twice and Jesse King pounded his way to 106 yards.
The defence certainly didn’t give up much but surprisingly didn’t create a turnover either. Keenan McArther had a team-high six tackles and as a team they combined to have four sacks.
The lone Hurricanes points came on a Tyler Nold, 14-yard field goal in the second quarter.
Next week the Beefeaters (2-1) travel to Ottawa to meet the Sooners (3-0) in a massive game for positioning in the standings. The Hurricanes (0-3) will visit the St. Clair Saints (3-0).
St. Clair Saints 58
GTA Grizzlies 0
Due to unforeseen circumstances the St Clair Saints and GTA Grizzlies game ended in the third quarter with the Saints way out in front.
During the game they gathered 524 yards of total offence. Quarterback Maurice Sodja completed 11 of 13 passes for 221 yards and found Cameron St. Kitts-Park, John Baya and Riley Sagriff for touchdowns.
On the ground MJ Doyle-Marshall was a machine carrying the rock four times for 150 yards and scored a pair of touchdowns. Sodja and Matthew Guenette added majors on the ground.
Next weekend the Saints (3-0) host the Hamilton Hurricanes (0-3) and the GTA Grizzlies (0-3) visit the Quinte Skyhawks (1-2).
