The University of Western Ontario hosted The Canadian Interuniversity Sport East West Bowl at TD Waterhouse Stadium on Saturday May 8th 2010. Both teams made the best of the conditions providing for an entertaining game despite the rain, snow, freezing rain and wind gusts that were able to blow the nearby soccer nets at least 6ft across the running track.

It wasn't only the players that had to battle with the elements. This group of fans was sharing a laugh over the constant struggle to keep the umbrellas right side out.
Thanks for looking.
