The momentum shifted shortly after when Guelph quickly responded when McLeod rushed up the center of the pitch for a try. Newman scored on the convert to shorten the gap to 10-7 in the 23^rd minute.

Gryphons would respond immediately after with another try off solid ball movement to give Guelph their first lead at 12-10. Damianff would score his first try of the game minutes later to go ahead 17-10 heading into the half time break.

Guelph would pick up where they left off in the second half with McLeod punching in a try for his second of the game to go ahead 22-0. After a successful convert, a strong run from Bouille pushed the score to 29-10.

Waterloo would add a try and convert late courtesy of Park but it was too little too late. The Gryphons wouldn't look back, adding three more tries and a convert en route to a decisive 46-17 victory.
