The Prairie rivals went head-to-head at Investors Group Field for the 13th Banjo Bowl on Saturday with the Bombers pulling out a victory.
The game ended on a Rider fumble and the Bombers pulled off the sweep, that ended the bowl 17-10.
Before Saturday’s game, both teams won six games, making the Bombers’ win that much sweeter.

In anticipation of the #BanjoBowl today I have been yelling at things that are green...the grass, trees, a blanket on my couch. #Bombers

Last year, more than 35,000 people watched the Bombers’ victory at IGF, 22 – 7.
This year’s game officially sold out as well, according to a statement on the Bomber’s site from Sept. 8.
