Take a read through this month’s issue of The Gryphon’s Lair to make sure you are up to date on all things Gryphon Football! Only 2 more games left of the regular season, but it’s still not too late to cheer on your favourite Gryphons in our FREE Fantasy Football League. Get your picks in before our upcoming games against the University of Toronto Varsity Blues on the 13th and the Waterloo Warriors on the 20th! Click HERE to play. Game 2 vs York Lions On the Labour Day Monday, Gryphon Football hosted the York Lions for the home- opener which brought 5,669 fans to Alumni Stadium. The Guelph Gryphons football team certainly didn't lack incentive as week 2 of the OUA regular season came around. Guelph's players wanted to right the ship after a narrow defeat last week in Hamilton – and getting a first ever for their new Head Coach was high on the list of priorities. The Gryphons accomplished both as they defeated the York Lions 33-18 in the annual O- Week Game with 5,669 fans on hand at Alumni Stadium. Click here to read more.
