Brookfield scored with only a few minutes left in the first half, but Dave Mitchell blocked the try for extra point.

Stan Hosking plunged across for the six points and then made the extra point. The following week, Girard opened the season's defense of the Steel Valley Crown by defeating Boardman 13-6.
