The Holy Trinity Falcons senior girls 'AA' soccer team completed the round-robin portion of last week's EOSSAA tournament with 2 wins, finishing first in their pool. The Falcons defeated Embrun and Thousand Islands, both by a score of 1-0. The goal scorers were Morgan Zappia in game one and Kelly Brissard in game two, while Madison Ruffo earned both shutouts.  

HT moved on to play Arnprior in the semifinal and once again was victorious, and punched a ticket to the EOSSAA final with a 1-0 victory. Lily Bacchiochi notched the goal, while Ruffo picked up her third shutout.

The final was a rematch of game one where the Falcons faced Embrun for the EOSSAA championship. The Falcons had to settle for silver, though, as their storybook season came to an end with a 3-1 loss.

A new senior 'A' hockey league aims to ice teams across Ontario.

Led by the Cornwall Prowlers, who played last season in the LHSAO, the Eastern Ontario Senior A Hockey League has been formed, with plans to begin play this fall.

In addition to a team in Cornwall, squads are expected to be iced in Maxville (the Maniacs), Kinburn, Kingston, and Kanata. There's also interest in Vankleek Hill and Eganville.

Organizers are aiming for a six to eight-team league for the inaugural season.  A league meeting is scheduled for June 23, with a player showcase booked for August 10.

Our June 5 edition includes a story about Grade 7-8 track and field athletes from le Relais. Here's some additional content, from the school's Facebook page.

With two victories in a Kingston today, the senior girls soccer team from Holy Trinity finds itself in good stead, finishing atop their pool with a 2-0 record. 

The Falcons, seeded first at the ‘AA’ tournament, scored a pair of 1-0 wins today.

Wednesday will start with the girls in a 9 a.m. semifinal versus Arnprior, with the winner advancing to the championship match at noon.

The day didn’t go quite as well for the second-ranked juniors, who didn’t qualify to advance out of pool play, following a pair of ties.
