Joe Pistilli Cup: Jr Riders 30, North Shore Sabercats 13

It is only a four-team league at the present moment, but the Ottawa Jr. Riders are back on top of the QJFL following a 30-13 victory over the North shore Sabercats at Gee-Gees field on Sunday.

The Jr. Riders sported a 6-2 record during the regular season. Both losses had come against the South Shore team, the Bruizers, but that team was upset by the Sabercats 35-33 in the semis. The Jr. Riders, meanwhile, shut out the Chateauguay Raiders 16-00 to set the Pistilli Cup match-up.

To that point, the Sabercats had been winless and had scored 77 points on the season while allowing 238. The final score might not reflect their level of competitiveness in this game either as they led at halftime 13-10.

This marks the Riders' 8th championship win but the first since 2010. They were inactive between 2014 and 2016. They returned in 2017 but lost in the semi finals to Chateauguay.

The Jr Riders were led by RB Jahdel Ferron who is credited with 500 yards on 82 carries and five scores. Bamki Adewalle (LB) and Jordon Gorgichuck (DB) were the team's leading tacklers with 16 solos and 14 assists each.
