FOOTBALL off to the Bol D’Or
For the second time in as many years the Isles will face off against Valleyfield for Division 2 football supremacy. In another back and forth game the Isles showed that their running game was not to be taken lightly. The defence held strong denying Cégep Edouard-Montpetit’s final drive, making the final 29-27.
