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.

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.
