The Holland College Hurricanes hammered the Dalhousie Tigers 38 – 7, winning the semifinal to book their spot in the Atlantic Football League championship Nov. 12 at UPEI’s MacAdam Field.

Running back Dave Clark was his team’s top player, running for three touchdowns for Holland College.

Greg Pelly had the only score for the Tigers, a one-yard touchdown run in the second quarter, while all three quarterbacks saw action for Dal.

The Hurricanes will face the UNB Fredericton Red Bombers next Saturday in the AFL championship. The Red Bombers earned their spot after beating the defending champion UNB Saint John Seawolves in their semifinal matchup on Friday.
