To be honest, I was hoping for a more competitive contest here but it may have been an unfair expectation of the New Brunswick program. In the "modern era" of the Football Canada Cup (meaning since it went to a U18 format exclusively in 2010), this is only NB's third year of competition. It'll be fun to watch them grow into it but clearly there's still plenty of work to be done.
...Nova Scotia took an early 9-0 lead after New Brunswick conceded a safety followed by a 15-yard Michael Ogilvie end zone plunge.
A Thomas Hoyt 11-yard jet sweep touchdown run on a made the score 15-0 at 1:17 of the opening quarter.
Following a single and conceded safety, backup quarterback Cameron Valardo connected with Greg Hutchins on a 62-yard touchdown to widen the Nova Scotia lead 25-0 with 6 minutes to play in the opening half.
Starting at the NB 25-yard line following a Jon Main interception, quarterback Duncan Patterson found Thomas Hoyt over the middle and forced his way into the end zone to make the score 33-0.
Patterson found Valardo who was lined up as a receiver to make the score 40-0.
Following back-to-back Hutchins’ singles made the score 42-0 at the half, New Brunswick conceded a second half safety to make the final score 44-0.
