Oct 26, 2024 | 4:14 PM

MONTREAL — Sergio Castillo kicked a 51-yard field goal on the final play of the game, and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers clinched the CFL West Division title with a 28-27 win over the Montreal Alouettes on Saturday.

The win gives the Blue Bombers their fourth straight division title and home field for the upcoming West final.

Had Winnipeg lost, the Saskatchewan Roughriders could have claimed first with a win later Saturday against visiting Calgary.

Instead the Roughriders will host B.C. in the West semifinal, with the winner facing the Bombers in the division final Nov. 9 at Princess Auto Stadium.

Montreal had already wrapped up top spot in the East Division entering the game.
