2015 FCC Game 3: Quebec Bleu 50, Nova Scotia 00

No one will ever mistake this place for a "breaking news" site.

Over the past few days, Football Canada has been sending out mini-bios of some of the players participating in the International Bowl. Nice little bit of promotion.

Before fully getting into all that, I still want to store Football Canada Cup results so here we go with, uhm...game three, played on July 13th, I believe. Still some work to do...

That awesome shot in the middle of the recap is by James Hajjar and was lifted from the Football Quebec website.
Quebec-Blue's defence made an early statement, capitalizing on Nova Scotia turnovers. On the game's opening drive Kaylyn Smith St-Cyr stepped in front of Nova Scotia quarterback Monecko Clayton pass, returning it 21 yards to the Nova Scotia 21-yard line. A pair of Samuel Makwanda rushes culminated with a 3-yard touchdown to make the score 7-0.
Quebec's defense stalled Nova Scotia's next drive, forcing a second interception in as many series - this time by Alec Poirier at Quebec's own 22 yard line. Quebec-blue took full advantage once again as quarterback Ezechiel Tieide connected with Bryan Owusu Bekoe on a 10-yard touchdown strike. 
A 43-yard Kevin Mital jet sweep extended the Quebec advantage to 21.

Quebec opened the second quarter by forcing its third interception of the first half. The host province's top team took full advantage once again as Tieide connected with Vincent Forbes-Mombleau on a 13-yard touchdown pass.

A 5-yard Alex Daigneault touchdown rush would push the Quebec lead to 35 heading into halftime.    
A pair of rushing touchdowns from quarterback Chrisopher Cinq-Mars in between a rouge made the final score 50-0.

Quebec Bleu Offensive Player of the Game
RB Samuel Makwanda: 7 carries for 95 yards, one TD.
