On the heels of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers massive CFL West Division Final win over the Saskatchewan Roughriders, the Bombers booked their fifth straight ticket to the 111th Grey Cup against the Toronto Argonauts, and also booked their tickets to Vancouver, where the finals are set to take place on Sunday November 17th.

The team could be seen with bags in hand at the Winnipeg International Airport getting ready to board a flight to Vancouver with one goal in mind, to return to Winnipeg with a trophy in hand.

That will be easier said than done, as the Bombers will have to take down Argonauts, in a rematch from the Grey Cup in 2022, that saw Toronto come out on top.
