On November 29th the Saints travelled to Sarnia to take on rival Lambton College in the third Border City Battle. This edition of the event consisted of five events: League of Legends, Rocket League, Fortnite, Smash Ultimate and Hearthstone.

Lambton started the day strong with wins in League of Legends and an upset win in Rocket League. Early on it was looking like the Saints BCB win streak might come to an end. Hope was soon regained as the Fortnite and Smash teams handled business convincingly to bring the score to 2 events to 2.

Historically Hearthstone, the 5th and final event, has been close with Lambton securing the win at the first BCB and St. Clair winning at the second. This trend continued as the teams each took a pair of games to make it 2-2. It all came down to a pivotal game 5. Throughout the entirety of the match it looked as though it could go either way but in the last few turns the Saints were able to draw the right cards. This not only secured them the victory in Hearthstone but it meant the BCB trophy would yet again return to St. Clair College.

The Saints will look to make it four straight in the winter when the Lambton Lions travel down to Windsor to invade home turf.
