2009 CFL Grey Cup: Montreal Alouettes Vs Saskatchewan Roughriders, Nov. 29/09

CFL 96th Grey Cup, 2008: Calgary vs Montreal - November 23, 2008

Congratulations to the Montreal Alouettes 2009 Grey Cup Champions

A very interesting game in which the favored team trailed the entire game but with no time left on the clock the Alouettes took the lead and the Grey Cup!

Damon Duval redeemed himself by kicking a 33 yard field goal. Duvall had just missed a 43 yard attempt but Saskatchewan was penalised for to many men on the field giving Duval another try from 10 yards closer.

The Roughriders led the entire game including 17-3 at the half and 20-10 after the 3rd quarter. In the 4th quarter the Al’s manged to outscore the riders 18-7.

At no point in the game did the Alouettes hold the lead yet they managed to win the game and the Grey Cup with no time left on the clock.

Who was Earl Grey?

Lord Earl Grey

Albert Henry George Grey, 4th Earl (1851-1917): grew up at Windsor Castle and was private secretary to Prince Alberta and Queen Victoria.

In 1894, he succeeded his uncle as the fourth Earl Grey. Liberal MP (1880-86); administrator of Rhodesia (1896-97); director, British South Africa Company (1898-1904); Governor-General of Canada (1904-11); trustee, Rhodes Trust (1902-17).

He was a politician and diplomat who served as Governor General of Canada from 1904 to 1911, at the time when Alberta and Saskatchewan became provinces. He was very popular with Canadians and was one of the few governors general at that time to complete a full term. In 1909, he donated the Grey Cup, the trophy which is now awarded annually to the Canadian Football League champion.
The Grey Cup originated in 1909 as a trophy from Earl Grey, Governor-General of Canada, to the Rugby Football Championship of Canada. Since 1954, only teams in the CFL have played for the Grey Cup.

The Dick Suderman Trophy for the Grey Cup’s Most Valuable Canadian is awarded annually to the Canadian player deemed to have the best performance in the Grey Cup game, the championship of the Canadian Football League.
