2004 Season

Week 9- August 14

August 14                                                  Maritime Bowl III                          

                                         Moncton Marshals 30 Halifax Shockers 3    

      The Shockers took the opening kickoff and marched the ball to the Marshal's 20 yard line before settling for a 20 yard field goal by Dominico Bartolocci. The defences would dominate the remainder of the first quarter as neither team was able to move the ball. 
       Early in the second quarter the Marshals were able to move the ball down to the Halifax 20 yard line. From there two touchdown passes in the end zone were dropped by the receivers and  Moncton was forced to settle for a 20 yard field goal by Pat Blagrave to knot the score at 3-3.
       Once again the defences dominated and the teams exchanged several punts until little over two minutes remained in the half. Halifax had the ball at midfield and tried to run a fake punt on fourth down. The snap was fumbled and Moncton took possession just inside Halifax territory. Moncton was unable to move the ball once again. A 45 yard field goal attempt by Blagrave was short. 
       Halifax began scrimmage from their 10 yard line and could not generate a first down. They punted from their end zone. Steve Cormier returned the ball the the Halifax 25 yard line. From there two runs by Alex Best put the ball on the Halifax one yard line. J.R. Gallant plunged in from there. Blagrave added the convert to give Moncton a 10-3 lead at the half.
       The Marshals took the opening kickoff at their own 18 yard line and proceeded to march downfield on the running of Best and the passing of Gallant. J.R. Gallant found Mike Allen on a 25 yard pass for the TD. The snap on the convert was bobbled leaving the score 16-3.
       On the ensuing kickoff Pat Blagrave tapped the ball ahead 10 yards and recovered it giving the Marshals the ball on the Shocker 50 yard line. Moncton wasted no time moving the ball deep into Halifax territory. Gallant found Mike Cochran on a 25 yard touchdown pass. Blagrave added the convert to stretch the Marshals lead to 23-3.
        The Marshals defence continued to limit the Shockers offence to minimal yardage for the remainder of the game. The Moncton offence would strike one more time in the fourth quarter. Beginning from their 35 yard line Gallant moved them downfield using mainly the pass. He found Kelly Nichols alone in the end zone from 10 yards out for the final touchdown of the game. Blagrave added the convert to complete a 30-3 victory that gave the Marshals their first ever Maritime Championship.                

Week 8- August 7

August 7                              New Brunswick Senior Football League Final                          

                                 Moncton Marshals 29 Saint John Wanderers 27    

      The Wanderers took the opening kickoff and drove deep into Marshals territory only to have Matt Cormier pick off a John Hachey pass on the ten yard line. Moncton drove the ball to midfield where they were called for illegal procedure on a fourth and one and had to punt. On the first play from scrimmage Mike Thomas swept right and ran 55 yards to put Saint John ahead. Jeff Gillies added the convert.
     Early in the second quarter the Marshals responded with a long drive keyed by the inside and outside running of Steve Cormier. Cormier bounced an off tackle run outside and rambled 30 yards for the TD. Pat Blagrave's convert knotted the score at 7-7. 
     The Wanderers went three and out on their next possession and were forced to punt into a stiff wind. Moncton took the ball at midfield and again keyed by the running of Steve Cormier, moved deep into the Saint John end where Cormier would score from one yard out. With Blagrave's convert the Marshals lead 14-7.
      Again the Wanderers were unable to move the ball after the kickoff and were forced to punt. This time the Wanderers defence held and the Marshals were forced to try a 45 yard field goal. Blagrave's attempt was wide and bounced out of the end zone for a single point to make it 15-7 for Moncton.
      The Wanderers took the ball on the 35 yard line and were able to get a first down. With only ten seconds left in the half Mike Thomas swept right and found Jeff Gillies open deep in the Marshals secondary. From there Gillies weaved back and forth avoiding the pursuing Moncton defenders and went all the way for the TD. Saint John's attempt at a two point conversion was no good leaving the score 15-13 for Moncton at the half.   
       Moncton opened the half with what looked to be a perfectly executed short kickoff that gave them possession of the ball. However one of their players were offside and they were forced to rekick. The Wanderers went to work and put together a drive of their own keyed by the short passes of QB John Hachey. Marcus Fitzgerald banged into the end zone from three yards out and Gillies added the convert to put Saint John ahead 20-15.
       The Marshals were unable to move the ball after the subsequent kickoff and had to punt. Saint John was able to make yards on their next possession but ran into problems with repeated holding penalties and had to punt.
        On their first possession of the fourth quarter Moncton also was unable to get a first down and had to punt. Marcus Whittingham returned the ball to midfield for the Wanderers. From there they drove to the Marshals 25 yard line only to fumble. It would prove to be a very costly fumble. Moncton took possesion of the ball and proceeded to drive down the field and score on a 5 yard run by Steve Cormier. A two point conversion attempt failed. Moncton now lead 21-20 with two minutes remaining in the game.
        Jon Bailey returned the subsequent kickoff to midfield. From there Hachey mixed short passes with runs by himself and suddenly the Wanderers were on the Marshals 20 yard line with a minute remaining. Hachey would run for the touchdown from 8 yards out. Gillies added the convert and the Wanderers lead 27-21 with 41 seconds showing on the game clock.
       After the kickoff Moncton started to scrimmage from their 30 yard line. J.R. Gallant threw two long incomplete passes on the first two plays. Then on third down he found Cormier open 40 yards down field. From there he raced another 30 yards for the decisive touchdown. Blagrave's convert made it 28-27 for Moncton with only 9 seconds left in the game.
        Blagrave's kickoff sailed through the end zone for another point to make it 29-27. Saint John took the ball at their 35 yard line and were able to complete a couple of passes before fumbling. Moncton  was able to run out the clock and claim their first ever Burchill Trophy.
