Retribution was the theme for this years “DD” Tournament Of Champions division, which featured the Ottawa Cobras and the Montreal Bandits. At last years TOC, the Cobras were handed a 28 to 6 humbling by another Montreal squad, the Dirty Dozen. The Dirty Dozen would go on to convincingly defeat the Bandits in the championship game that year.

Montreal Bandits 26 vs Ottawa Cobras 19

This past Nationals saw the Cobras settling their score as they slipped by the Dirty Dozen in a nail-biting 14 to 13 semifinal decision. The Montreal Bandits, who lost in the finals last season to the Dozen, found themselves with a second chance this year.

They squared off against the Cobras in an exciting championship game. Although the Bandits would capture the title this time around, they had a difficult task against the always-dangerous Cobras. After a bumpy round robin ride, the Bandits pulled out some impressive playoff victories. Congratulations on your Canadian championship!
