For most of the first half, St. David’s controlled play threatening to score on many occasions. It finally paid out midway through the first frame when Deanna Bordman scored after a penalty corner.
St. David’s defence and goalie Emma Maric were brick walls in the second half stopping a relentless offensive attack from Resurrection.
In the end, St. David’s won 1 – 0 and collected their first District 8 field hockey title since the Fall of 1992.
The Celtics will now advance to the CWOSSA Championship on Friday October 25 & 26, 2023 at Woodside Park where they’ll compete in a pool with the champion from Districts 4/10 and the WCSSAA silver medalists. Both finalists from CWOSSA will advance to the OFSAA Championship in Milton November 2-4, 2023.
