ROUND 1 KICKS OFF WITH TWO THRILLERS

The 2010 ECAFL season got underway today with a triple header at Parc Cluny in Laval. Under picture perfect skies the Montreal Saints took on the Pointe Claire Power in game 1. The Saints were able to withstand a late last quarter surge by the Power and hold on for a 6 point win. A controversial last second goal by the Saints was disallowed due to a timekeeping error
