The 1st weekend in the month of September took place a few days ago & of course that means: Labour Day Long Weekend!
Here at the #CFL, this weekend has special meaning as it means we get Great Football with the traditional rivalries to boot.
Marks #LDWeekend got started just before the official start of the weekend on Thursday Night.
East foes, Montreal & Ottawa re-acquainted themselves in La Belle Province.
.@MarksCanada #LDWeekend is officially underway!
:Tune-in now to @TSN_Sports!

Our 2nd game of #LDWeekend was a meeting of two of the hottest teams in the league as the Bombers traveled once again to New Mosaic to try & knock off the Riders for the 2nd time this year. The Riders had other ideas in mind.
Getting the game started right.

It didn’t take very long for a Jerome Messam sighting.
Watch out @JMessam making his way through. @MarksCanada #LDweekend

And then the Esks kicked the ball to Roy Finch… A BIG NO-N0.
Here’s why:
Roy Finch blows by everyone and takes a punt return 90 yards to the house to help give the @calstampeders a 25-3 lead. #CFLGameDay pic.twitter.com/OEZqnv9neN
