The Tiger-Cat started off strong from the opening kick-off. Midway through the first quarter, the Tiger-Cats got on the board as McManus hit Williams for a 35-yard gain to the Stamps' 15-yard line. Three plays later, Williams plunged into the end zone from one-yard out to give the Tiger-Cats a 7-0 lead.

On Hamilton's next possession, McManus found Flutie for a 40-yard gain as the Tiger-Cats again moved into Calgary territory. That led to a 46-yard field goal from Paul Osbaldiston to give the Tiger-Cats a 10-0 advantage, as the gun sounded to end the first quarter.
