Going into this game, the Darien JV football team had an undefeated season. Some of the opposing teams they beat included Wilton, Harding, and North Haven. Not only was this game important for Wave to keep their undefeated season, but also because of the rivalry.
Both teams came out strong in the first quarter and both defenses were holding off the opposing offense. But Darien junior Peter Archey scored and was able to break the Rams' defense and score the first touchdown of the game. The Blue Wave went for the two-point conversion to get further ahead of the Rams and sophomore Bobby Trifone scored. New Canaan came back strong, and scored later in the first quarter. At the end of the first quarter, Darien led 8-6.
The second and third quarter were both scoreless. Junior Peter Grant said "both teams' defenses were solid" holding off any scoring opportunities, "meanwhile the offense for both teams just could not put it in".
In the fourth quarter, Darien came out stronger than New Canaan. Archey scored again, getting Darien a score of 14. Darien held off New Canaan until the final buzzer sounded. The final score was 14-6 in favor of Darien.
