黑马磁力 Rams are bound for the Cullen Cup, following their 45-15 win over the Okanagan Sun Saturday in the BCFC semifinal at McLeodAthletic Park stadium in 黑马磁力.

In what amounted to a rematch of the 2018 Cup, the Sun capitalized on a Rams opening kickoff fumble and took an early 7-0 lead but the Rams dominated the rest of the game.

It was a 7-7 tie game with touchdowns by both teams by the end of the first quarter, but in the second quarter, Rams scored twice more to open up a 21-8 lead and never looked back.
