“I’m absolutely thrilled,” Duff said in the raucous moments before the game with the bar packed to capacity. “We’re turning people away at the door for the second match in a row. We’ve been putting these events on for qualification games for over a year and we have an incredible staff and partners here at this bar that we have turned into the cradle of football here in Ottawa.
“A lot of people here have a personal stake in this game. They’ve played or been involved in the sport for over 30 years. I’ve been organizing football for over 25 years, so this is a crescendo for me. It’s a big deal,” Duff said. Glebe Central owner Dan Rogers said the only apt comparison for Sunday’s crowd would be on St. Patrick’s Day.
