The Hampton Rogues made some waves on this season’s
Tour. Although they didn’t capture a title, they played in a final
(K-Town Classic), and made it to a semifinal (Unionville), losing to
the Oshawa Hawks and the Burlington Gators. There’s no shame in
losses with such capable squads. With the Trillium Cup as their title
of the season, it was a great way for the Rogues to wrap up their Provincial
competition. Let’s see who they had to face beginning with the
quarterfinals.
Semifinals
Hampton Rogues 35 vs Niagara Muddogs
18
Kitchener Vipers 6 vs
Burlington Broncos 0
Hampton Rogues 29 vs Kitchener Vipers
0
The Championship pitted the Rogues against the Kitchener Vipers.
Not only was this the Vipers first championship appearance as well,
they also had defeated the Rogues in their round robin match-up, adding
attractive elements to an already anticipated final. Although the
Vipers handled the Rogues earlier in the tournament, they were blindsided
by 29 unanswered points.
The Hampton boys placed a convincing 29 to 0 Trillium
Cup title result in TFO’s books, and look to do the same at the
upcoming Tournament Of Champions in Ottawa. Good luck gentlemen, and
congratulations on your Championship win!
