LOSSA Week Three Recap
Tier One Senior


Holy Trinity (CFC ‘HM’) 22, St. Mary 16

In a match that featured two undefeated teams, the St. Mary Monarchs must have felt like they were watching the movie “Groundhog Day”.

In both 2008 and 2009, the Monarchs found themselves with an early lead only to lose to the Courtice based Titans. This year, they held a 9-1 half time lead before falling 22-16. Holy Trinity, who have never lost a LOSSA Senior football game to St. Mary, moved into a first place tie with Donald A. Wilson with perfect records of 2-0.
Scoring details unavailable.
