Official Match Report
Both teams were rusty in the beginning of the match, with the only two goals being scored by the Rebels that put them close to the goal square after 50m penalties. The Gargoyles won the second quarter through efficient kicking however the Rebels still applied most of the pressure.
After halftime the Rebels took control of the flow and held the Gargs inside their foward 50 for much of the half. Despite pulling away in the third, Grand River started to mount a comeback through their two biggest goalkickers Dyer and Matthews - but it was too little too late and the Gargoyles ran out of time.
