Once again, the Labour Day Classic came down to the closing moments, with yet another thriller between the rival Saskatchewan Roughriders and Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

With Winnipeg threatening to tie the game on a two-point convert attempt, Tevaughn Campbell picked off Zach Collaros and took it 111 yards to seal the Riders’ 34-30 win.

With the win, the Riders move to 9-2 on the season, best in the Canadian Football League (CFL). It was also their 39th win in the Labour Day game against Winnipeg.

The Bombers fall to third in the West with a record of 6-5.

What started as a defensive battle, quickly became a shootout. For just the third time in Labour Day Classic history (1952, 1970, 2025), the score was 0-0 after the first quarter.

Saskatchewan would spot the Bombers 10 points before getting on the board themselves.

A Malik Carney strip sack of Winnipeg QB Zach Collaros inside the Bomber 20-yard line would set up a seven-yard A.J. Ouellette touchdown run.

It was Ouellette’s first time in the endzone since Week 7 – and first rushing TD for the running back since Week 4.

In addition to the touchdown, the rusher finished with 18 carries for 89 yards on the ground.

On Saskatchewan’s next offensive possession, Trevor Harris would lead a five-play, 102-yard touchdown drive – culminating with a 69-yard catch and run by Tommy Neild.

The Rider pivot went 17/27, 219 yards passing with one touchdown and did not throw an interception.

For Winnipeg, Collaros went 26/37, 326 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.

Rider running back Mario Anderson reached the endzone for his first CFL touchdown in the third quarter, scoring his second rushing TD in the fourth to put Saskatchewan up 13 points.

Fresh off the birth of his baby girl, kicker Brett Lauther made his lone field goal try from 34 yards. He did however, miss one extra-point attempt in the third quarter.

In the stands, the Riders announced an attendance of 34,243 – a new Mosaic Stadium record. The 2013 Labour Day Classic had 44,910 at old Taylor Field.

The two teams now prepare to face off against each other in six days in Winnipeg for the Banjo Bowl.
