WOGHL CHAMPIONS! U13 Girls Tim Horton's
U13
Tillsonburg Girls Lightning Tim Horton's Win WOGHL Division Championship
The
U13 Tillsonburg Lightning Tim Horton's team won the most important game in their rivalry
with the South Huron Sabres on April 5, 2024. The rivalry with the South
Huron Sabres developed over the course of 5 games this season.
South
Huron took the first match-up early on in the season 2-0 over Tillsonburg.
The next 3 games ended in ties, including the playoff game that
determined first place going into the semi-finals. With more wins on
their record, the tie gave Tillsonburg the top spot, and South Huron the number
2 position. After each team posted a win in their semi-final game, it was only fitting that these two rivals faced each other in the WOGHL division championship.
It was a hard fought, close match; ending up 0-0 after the first two periods. Early in the third period, Tillsonburg put the first goal on the board. Despite fighting numerous penalty kills, including almost 2 minutes of playing with 3 players to South Huron's 5, the Tillsonburg defence shut down the Sabres, time after time.
Final score: 1-0 for Tillsonburg, giving them the division championship!
Congratulations to the team!
