National Capital:

CFC#39 St. Peter Wins 11th Senior Football Championship

Congratulations go out to the Senior Football Team who won the City Championship on Saturday at TD Place. The Knights blanked St. Patrick Irish 20-0.

The two teams played a night game earlier in the season at Millenium Field, where the Knights came away with a 15-10 victory in a very spirited affair.

On Saturday, even with periods of snow, the Knights would not be denied another undefeated season. St. Peter dominated the Irish with a stellar defense – continually holding their offense in check. The Knights would not disappoint the fans as the offense scored at opportune times to bring home the trophy for the eleventh time in seventeen years.

Up next: OFSAA Bowl vs Halton Region Winner at McMaster Stadium in Hamilton on November 27.
