The Giants lifted the Playoff crown for 2003 with a superb win over the London Knights. The Knights just wouldn’t go away and kept up the pressure on the Giants the whole game long as the Giants kept taking the lead only to see the Knights bring it back each time keeping the fans very nervous and on the edge of their seats.
