PATRIOTS SHUTOUT OAKVILLE 41-0

In Week 3 of Northern Football Conference action, the Hamilton Steel City Patriots (2-O) took to the 403, travelling to Oakville to take on the Longhorns (1-1). With both squads each having an early bye week and winning their first game on the schedule, on paper it looked to be a good match.

Events unfolded differently on the field with the obviously overmatched Longhorns surrendering an interception returned for a touchdown by rookie DB Jamahl Burke, and letting veteran DL Jordan Powell block a punt, leading to another Burke touchdown.

The Patriot defence was stifling all night, continuing their shutout streak and adding two safeties to the score.

WR Gerrit Dendekker caught a 24 yard touchdown pass from Josh Madden as the SCP offense moved the ball with ease on the Oakville defenders.

Patriots 24-0 Over GTA AllStars in 2022 NFC Season Opening Game!

The Hamilton Steel City Patriots opened their 2022 Northern Football Conference season with a dominating win over the defending champion GTA Allstars on a cool Saturday night in Brampton.

The Patriot defence was punishing all night, not allowing the Allstar offense to move the ball or score. Rookie defensive backs, Tj Saini and Austin Dale, each returned interceptions for defensive touchdowns while the SCP defensive line and linebackers held the GTA rushers to only 19 yards on the ground.

Offensively, Hamilton was dealt a blow when starting QB, Graham Kelly, was ruled out of the game following a late, low hit from the GTA defense. The low hit occurred well after an 18 yard completion to WR Archelaus Jack, who stepped in to the quarterback spot after Kelly went down.

The SCP offense rallied around Jack, with the 3rd year Patriot putting on a show of his athleticism, resilience, and leadership. Taking snaps for the first time in his career, AJ, as he is known to his teammates, wore down the Allstar defense with his speed and agility, rushing for 82 yards on 7 carries.

SCP running backs Brandon Bettencourt, Stephon Smith and Daniel Seymour combined for another 125 yards on the ground, with Smith scoring on a 23 yard 3rd quarter TD run.

Hamilton has a bye week and return to the field on Saturday June 18 at 6pm against the Oakville Longhorns in Mississauga at Paul Gilbert Field - 1275 Mississauga Valley Blvd, $10 entry, 12 and under free.
