The Trojans, coached by Pat Billings, began in spectacular fashion by defeating the three-time Ontario Midget Football Association champion Scarborough Spartans 14-06. Including playoffs, they achieved a 7-2 record and reached the league semi-finals, bowing out to the Scarborough Spartans 7-6.
The Trojans were joined in the Ontario Minor Football League by the Dukes of Gloucester in 1981, then the Nepean Norsemen in 1982. The Myers Riders program fielded a team in that league as well, winning seven championships during the 90's, until they moved to the Ontario Varsity Football League for the 2001 season.
In 2002, the Midget level was entered into NCAFA through a merger with the former OMFL.

Myers was 10-00 on the season. The win above gave them the Ottawa Major Football Conference championship. That should have led to a game versus a Central Ontario Football team but I am unable to find a result for such a game as of yet.

October 30th, Ottawa Citizen
--The Norsemen beat the Dukes of Gloucester 21-00 to reach the final. Rick Lacelle scored twice on the ground, once from 19 and once from one yard out.

The Norsemen would meet the Central Ontario champion Oshawa Hawkeyes for the provincial title but lose that game 17-08.

**Burlington changed the time and location of the game at the last minute and Ottawa was unable to adapt. The league, at least initially, ruled that a forfeit in favour of Burlington. Trojans planned to appeal on the basis that they were not given the league-mandated required time to modify their plans.
