Trevor Niven rounded out Chatham-Kent’s scoring kicking three field goals.

“It was a great team effort, with the boys showing heart in a game that meant nothing for us other then pride, they all stepped up when challenged to do so,” Head Coach Kevin Pugh stated of the win.

The Senior Cougars and Junior Cougars will face the Burlington Stampeders to close out their season next weekend.
