Hugh O'Neill kicked five field goals for the B.C. Lions in a 29-27 CFL pre-season win over the Calgary Stampeders on Friday.

His winning field goal from 46 yards at 13:47 of the fourth quarter bounced off the crossbar and over for the victory.

The CFL tuneup was both a preview of the regular-season opener for both clubs and a rematch of the 2012 West Division final, which the Stampeders won to earn a berth in the Grey Cup.

B.C.'s Korey Williams scored on a 105-yard kickoff return and Nick Moore caught a touchdown pass from Thomas DeMarco for the visitors.

Calgary backup quarterback Kevin Glenn threw touchdown passes to Mo Price and Khalil Paden. Running back Jonathan Williams scored on a one-yard dive to give the hosts the lead with six and a half minutes remaining in the game. Stampeders kicker Rene Paredes contributed a pair of field goals.

Lions No. 1 quarterback Travis Lulay played a fraction of the first quarter before giving way to backups DeMarco, Chris Hart and Joey Elliott. Lulay completed two of five passes for 13 yards.

DeMarco was 6-for-12 for 68 yards and a touchdown. Hart was 1-for-6 for two yards and Elliott made two passes for 14 yards.

Calgary rotated starter Drew Tate, Glenn and Bo Levi Mitchell through the game with third-stringer Mitchell working the majority of the second half.

Tate made two of five passes for seven yards in the first quarter. Glenn was 7-for-10 for a pair of touchdown passes and one interception in the second quarter. Mitchell was 8-for-11 and 103 yards. Ryan Perilloux had one throw for three yards.

Wind and pouring rain in the third quarter Friday made execution difficult for the players and uncomfortable conditions for the announced 26,328 at McMahon Stadium.

The Stampeders conclude the pre-season June 20 in Saskatchewan and open the regular season at home against the Lions on June 28.

The Lions host the Edmonton Eskimos in a pre-season game June 21. B.C.'s home-opener is July 4 against the defending Grey Cup champion Toronto Argonauts.

The Lions left 20-year veteran kicker Paul McCallum in Vancouver to try out young prospects. O'Neill, a 23-year-old from Edmonton, scored all of B.C.'s points in the wet second half.
