“I never would have thought that,” said Saskatoon Hilltops place-kicker Rylan Kleiter, whose three field-goals proved to the difference in a 11-6 victory here Saturday over the host Langley Rams in the 2019 Canadian Bowl before a jam-packed McLeod Athletic Park Stadium.

“But we have a lot of trust in our defence to shut them out and they came through with that.”

With the win, Saskatoon now has a record 22 Canadian Bowl titles to its credit while extending its overall winning streak to 31 games dating back to the 2017 regular season.

But the mix for six was somehow missing a TD score of six.

“Well, yeah, somebody’s going to get fired as the offensive co-ordinator — that’s what’s going to happen,” quipped Hilltops head coach Tom Sargeant after his team hung on for a victory to extend its streak.
