Hamilton Hurricanes 28
London Beefeaters 14

In the pouring rain the Hurricanes got the job done playing an outstanding road game led by quarterback Jake Marquette.   The veteran completed 14 of 26 for 288 yards and threw four touchdowns.  Both Angus Button and Keyshaun Jordan caught a pair of majors.  Button hauled in a game high six passes for 142 yards.

Defensively the Canes shutdown the Beefeaters passing game with eight sacks. Tom Zarafonaitis, Zachary Hoffner and Tyler Dekkers each had two sacks while Brayden Hill had an interception.

The Beefeaters lone offensive touchdown came on the ground as Shayden Smith rumbled into the end zone.  Quarterback Clarke McCallum finished 13 of 26 for 164 yards and threw a pick.

The only other score came on the defensive side as Jake Townend forced a fumble and jumped on it in the end zone.

Next week the Hurricanes (2-0) will host the GTA Grizzlies (0-2) on Labour Day Monday while the Beefeaters (1-1) host the Niagara Regional Raiders (0-2) on Saturday night.

After the Raiders jumped out to a 7-0 lead in the first quarter the Fratmen turned it on scoring 28 points in the second frame and 31 in the third quarter.

The Fratmen used both their quarterbacks in Daniel Milloux and Colton Allen who struck for 435 yards on 20 competitions.  They also combined for seven touchdown passes.  Three of those majors were caught by Branden McCaraney while Omar Hayes-Williams caught two and both Dante Lewis and Marcus Cooper each had one.

In addition to throwing four touchdown passes, Allen also rushed for two.

The Fratmen defence got in on the act as well when Spence Trinier had a 35 yard pick six.

On the Raiders side quarterback Kam Mitchell did all of the scoring.  He finished with 162 yards on 11 completions and threw a touchdown pass to Damonte Brundidge. He also ran for a major from 10 yards out.

Next week the Fratmen (1-1) will host the Ottawa Sooners (2-0) on Saturday night while the Raiders (0-2) will play in London against the Beefeaters (1-1).
