1999 QMJFL Championship: Ottawa Jr. Riders 33, Chateauguay Raiders 09

The Ottawa Jr. Riders kicked off their season last night in Chateauguay. Unfortunately, they were on the wrong end of a 19-16 score.

These two teams have quite a bit of history. The article below is but one example of it. I wish it were more focused on the actual game than sideline...uhm...interactions between the two teams, but it will have to do for the moment.

The Jr. Riders had defeated the Raiders in the previous year's championship game as well. If my record-keeping is sound, receiver Richard Tremblay was the league's outstanding offensive player and defensive back Scott Gordon its MVP.
