“We are one victory away from a perfect season, it is something difficult to achieve, we will prepare and then we will do everything to win this match,” reacted Marc-André Dion, who will be at a fourth appearance in the final as head coach of the team.
The pilot thought first and foremost of the young people when he left the field. “When you become champion, you become one for life,” he said, speaking of the importance of the next match. Being able to pass that on to the players, for me that’s what’s most rewarding.”
Too many turnovers
Returning to the Bol d’Or for the first time since 2022, the CNDF will cross swords against the winner of the other semi-final, which pits the Champlain College Cougars against André-Grasset’s Phénix, this Saturday at Coulter Field , in Lennoxville. The game will be played next Friday evening (7 p.m.), in Trois-Rivières.
On Saturday, the CNDF took the lead thanks to ball carrier Paul Kamdem Kamdem, a major followed by a multitude of turnovers. The locals’ quarterback, Thomas Leroux, however, allowed his team to retreat to the locker room ahead 14 to 2 at the half.

“We are such a good team that we can do that and still win, and that speaks volumes, analyzing Marc-André Dion. We will still have to clean up this file because we cannot give so many changes [6].»
The other winning touchdowns came from receivers Olivier Bernard and Ramses Ndougou.
