A very slow start aided by penalties put the Bulldogs down by 29 points before the offense found their footing. Unfortunately the Dawgs suffered a 29-22 defeat to St. Francis Xavier Rams. With the old 'Murphy's Law' of when something could go wrong, it usually does, the Bulldogs dug themselves a hole too large to get out of. A heroic burst of offense late in the game brought the fans to their feet with 3 touchdown passes by Eli Korownyk and two 2 point conversion's. The outcome only sealed for the Rams with a short kick-off that was inches from being recovered by the Bulldogs. Jack McLeod's 2 TD's and Gavin Chinni's lone TD in the last half of the game brought the Bulldogs to within 1 TD and almost overcoming a 29 point deficit.
Next up for the Junior team is a home field match with Archbishop O'Brien Crusaders on Oct 11 at Larry Olexiuk Field.
