The Carabins sent a clear message. They are well and truly ready for the playoffs. Marco Iadeluca’s squad defeated the McGill Redbirds 42-3 to reach the Dunsmore Cup final.
The Carabins will therefore join the Rouge et Or of Laval University for the ultimate match in Quebec university football. The two teams will face each other for the 11th consecutive season in the grand final.
It’s definitely going to be a good match,” Iadeluca said. However, we had work to do today and it was important to focus on the present moment. The guys worked well and I know it will continue like this.
