  • Today Is GAMEDAY and We Are on the Road to London. Please Enjoy Our Newsletter Below and Catch up on an Amazing Month of October
    Today is GAMEDAY and we are on the road to London. Please enjoy our newsletter below and catch up on an amazing month of October. I would like to personally thank all those Gryphon Football supporters who jumped on the Friends of Gryphon Football membership campaign that launched in May of this year. DETAILS "The Strength of the Gryphon is the Pack, and the Strength of the Pack is the Gryphon" Issue 10 - November 2017 We’re very proud and excited to announce every game we’ve played in October has been a victory! On the 14th, we dominated the Laurier Golden Hawks 24-14. On the 21st, we beat the Carleton Ravens 28-23. Finally, on the 28th, we eliminated the Ottawa Gee-Gees 30-8 in the OUA Quarter Finals. Next, we’re going to London to face the Western Mustangs in the OUA Semi-finals on November 4th. The kickoff for the game is at 1PM. Join Gryphon Nation and support our team as the Quest continues. OUA football playoffs: Western Mustangs not lulled by Guelph Gryphons' No. 5 seed Given a choice the Western Mustangs would probably have preferred to play anyone other than the Guelph Gryphons in the semi-final run to the Yates Cup. “Yeah, they are a tough team,” said Mustangs coach Greg Marshall. “But you know if you are going to win a championship, you have to beat the best teams and Guelph is one of the best teams.” Before the season began, Marshall said he felt the Gryphons were a team that could win the OUA championship.
