The Varsity Reds struck first, charging through to the end line to get on the board. The conversion was good, giving the Reds a 7-0 lead.

The Tommies narrowed the lead with a try of their own, but the Varsity Reds countered and held a 17-5 advantage after 40 minutes.

The Tommies made a push in the second half and scored a try in the 46 minute but surrendered two unconverted tries to the Varsity Reds, who held on for a 27-12 win.

The Tommies are back in action next Saturday when they visit the Mount Allison Mounties in Sackville. Kickoff is at 2:00pm.
