GUELPH, Ont. Garret Sparks Jersey . -- Hamilton quarterback Henry Burris threw two touchdown passes as the Tiger-Cats recorded their first victory of the CFL season with a 25-20 win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Saturday night. Sam Giguere scored a 61-yard TD catch-and-run on Hamiltons first possession of the game and John Delahunt scored his first career CFL TD reception, this one from 12 yards. Bombers running back Chad Simpson, who has had a slow start to the season, shifted gears against Hamilton and scored a 75-yard rushing TD in the first and a 15-yard TD run in the fourth. Short-yardage backup quarterback Justin Goltz also scored for Winnipeg. Bombers kicker Justin Palardy missed his lone field-goal attempt, from 40 yards. Hamilton kicker Luca Congi hit two of four attempts, missing from 44 and 28 yards, and hitting two 24-yard shots. He added a kickoff single and punter Josh Bartel added two punt singles. The Tiger-Cats improved their record to 1-2 and join a log jam in the East Division with Toronto, Montreal and Winnipeg, all with the same record. The game was played in front of a near-capacity crowd of 13,085 at the University of Guelphs Alumni Stadium, the Tiger-Cats home venue for the season. Hamilton took a 17-13 lead into the fourth quarter. Congis missed 28-yard field goal made it 18-13. The Tiger-Cats hadnt scored a touchdown since the first drive of the game, but midway through the fourth, Burris led them on a 60-yard drive, hitting Delahunt for a 12-yard score and a 25-13 Hamilton lead with 8:48 left to play. But with 2:40 left in the game, the Bombers capped a 62-yard three minute scoring drive that ended with Simpsons 15-yard touchdown run to make it 25-20. When the Ticats offence couldnt keep possession, the much maligned Hamilton defence shut the door on the next Winnipeg series. Burris ran for a huge first down on the next Ticats possession and the offence hung on. Burris got Hamilton off to a quick 7-0 lead on its first possession of the game, converting a third-and-short on the first series of the game and then immediately hitting Giguere for a 61-yard TD strike with barely two minutes gone. But there was none of that on the Ticats next possession as the Bomber defence -- which led the league with 11 sacks coming in -- tackled Burris for large losses twice in a row. Congis missed 44-yard field goal and Bartels 55-yard punt single made it 9-0 early in the second quarter. But Winnipegs Simpson took the ball from scrimmage on the Bombers first possession of the quarter and ran in a 75-yard TD against a Ticat defence that has the leagues worst numbers against the run. This is the third-straight game that Hamilton has given up a TD rush of more than 70 yards. There was a bad snap on the convert attempt, and Winnipeg could only pull to 9-6. Palardy later also missed a 40-yard field goal when the ball hit the uprights. Both kicks were into the sun. When the Bombers got the ball back, Johnson returned a Bartel punt 39 yards to the Hamilton 52. That set up a five-play, 48-yard drive ending with a seven-yard TD run by short-yardage back-up quarterback Goltz -- this time with a good convert -- and a 13-9 Winnipeg lead with 2:25 left in the quarter. A 24-yard field goal by Congi made it 13-12 heading into halftime. He tied it 13-13 on his 85-yard kickoff single to open the third quarter and Bartel gave the Ticats the lead with a 69-yard punt single. Another 24-yard field goal by Congi made it 17-13 for Hamilton and it stayed that way heading into the fourth. Felix Potvin Jersey .

But what about the officials? Every sport has officials and they also have stories about hard work and sacrifice but their accomplishments are seldom recognized by anyone outside their inner circle. Its official - Parramattas NRL top-eight hopes are over after falling 34-14 to the Titans in Saturday evenings clash on the Gold Coast.In contrast, the seventh-placed Titans remain in sight of their first finals campaign in six years after a five-tries-to-three triumph in front of 15,273 fans at cbus Super Stadium.However, Parramatta coach Brad Arthur said there was still plenty to gain from their nightmare season.Our season may be over but we have standards and expectations - that is all we can judge ourselves on, he said.We have to ask ourselves at the end of the year did we maintain those standards or take the easy option?.The Eels had been holding onto hope that winning their remaining seven matches would keep them in the finals mix.In a year of lurching from controversy to controversy for Parramatta, Eels fans would still have been disheartened by the events of the past week.Wayward five-eighth Corey Norman watched from the Gold Coast sidelines after being suspended for eight weeks and fined $20,000 for a string of off-field incidents, including a conviction for drug possession.Parramatta were also taken over by a NSW government-appointed administrator on Tuesday in the wake of their salary-cap scandals which resulted in them being fined $1 million and docked 12 competition points.But the loss finally derailed the Eels unlikely finals run.Captain Beau Scott (ankle) was cut before the match while hooker Isaac De Gois (suspected knee) limped off in the 64th minute as Parramatta slid to third last on 12 points.Weve got probably three quarters of the salary cap sitting on the sidelines, Arthur said of their long list of unavailable players including playmaker Kieran Foran.We will just add them (De Gois, Scott) to the list.We will find some (back-up).If anything, I would rather them (injuries) this year than next year.Eels stand-in skipper Tim Mannah said it was pretty easy to ignore their off-field dramas.This is a resilient, tough group, he said.The attitude we have makes it a lot easier to deal with situations that look pretty messy from the outside.I think we will be better for it once we come through it.Happier days aappear ahead for the Titans. Joffrey Lupul Jersey. They will back themselves to crack the top eight for the first time since 2010 after downing Parramatta - the first of three straight home fixtures.The Titans overcame the loss of suspended former NSW Origin player Greg Bird to book their second straight win.The Gold Coast may need to win just three of their remaining six games to guarantee a finals berth.Henry admitted many would be surprised by the Gold Coasts finals push after being dismissed as no chance by so-called pre-season experts.But the Titans mentor urged his side to keep the shocks coming.Everyone is surprised by our performances, but were not, Henry said ahead of two-straight home games.It (finals) is in our own hands. We have fought to be in that head space.Now we need to maintain it.A finals tilt would cap a remarkable Titans turnaround.Just last year the NRL took over control of the Titans in a nightmare 12-month period which also included the Daly Cherry-Evans backflip and a cocaine scandal.It (turnaround) is on the back of leadership, Henry said.Plus guys we have recruited are getting the job done (and) weve handled a bit of adversity with injuries.Its also about winning back fans by playing a brand of football that we are proud of.We will keep pushing.After trailing 14-4 at halftime, Parramatta cut the deficit to six points when prolific winger Bevan French crossed in the 58th minute for his 10th try of the season.But the Titans were not to be denied.Back-rower Chris McQueen bagged his double by the 71st minute before halfback Ash Taylors 40m intercept try in the dying moments iced the result.Gold Coast jumped to a 14-0 lead by the 19th minute after tries to Titans recruit Konrad Hurrell, Anthony Don and McQueen.Eels back-rower Ken Edwards put the visitors on the scoreboard running off Clint Gutherson in the 36th minute.Titans veteran hooker Nathan Friend (hamstring) left the field in the 34th minute in addition to the Eels rake de Gois (suspected knee issue) who limped off in the 64th.
