Helsinki Roosters Repeat in 2013 (Maple Bowl XXXIV - Finland)!

Source:

The Helsinki Roosters took on the Helsinki Wolverines for Finland's Maple League Championship Final for the second year in a row. Just a year ago the same two teams faced off against each other in the same final. Last year it went in favor for the Roosters as they won 20-17. Going into the match the Wolverines were looking for revenge while all the Roosters were thinking about was repeat.With the thought of repeat in mind Stephen Peyton of the Roosters quickly made an impact when he returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown. And after shutting down the Wolverine's first offensive drive Quarterback Robert Johnson was able to help the Roosters increase their lead to 14-0.Before the end of the half Cedric Johnson was able to snag in a pair of touchdowns for the Wolverines while Rocky Ciasulli scored a touchdown of his own to keep his Roosters comfortably ahead by a score of 23-14.During the 3rd quarter Robert Johnson lead the passing attach which ended with a receiving touchdown to Dwayne Hollis . In the meantime Cedric Johnson was still trying to keep his team alive when scoring his third touchdown of the day making at 31-24.Unfortunately this was as close as it would get for Cedric and his Wolverines. By the end of the game while there was points added by each team on the board it was much in favor for the Roosters. The final score was 52-31 for the Roosters, giving them their second consecutive Maple League Champ title.Congratulations Helsinki Roosters Jesse Flynn
