Championship Game
NNU Falcons 1  Sackville United 1
Sackville wins 2-1 on penalty kicks.

 

In an entertaing ing final the first half provided plenty of
end to end action but no goals as both teams played a patient game in the
sweltering heat.  In the scecond half
Isobel DeMont put the Falcons aheaad on a nice shot after a set up from
Karleigh Avery and Sydney Adamson.  Vicki

iniate the scoring chance.  But the
Falcons could only hold the lead for
eight minutes when Sackville headed home the equalizer from a direct
free kick played on the left side.  The
remainder of regulation time settled nothing as did the two brief over time

lottery and on this occaision the numbers came up 2-1 for Sackville.

 

Keeper Christina Cleroux was named player of the game for
NNU while Alex Henderson, Jenna Fraser and Krishma Joshi all had solid
performances for Northern Nova.
