In his first week as a Marauder, Will Kelly proved to be an already invaluable part of McMaster's team. The first-year fly half from Ancaster, Ont. had a try and two penalty goals to lead his team to a 16-10 upset of the defending OUA bronze medalists, the Western Mustangs, on September 7. He followed with another steady afternoon of kicking on September 11, as Mac moved to 2-0 with a 27-12 victory over the Trent Excalibur, helped by seven points from Kelly including two converts and a penalty goal.
