Men’s Division
-
Toronto Rebels 148 def. High Park Demons 1
The Rebels delivered one of the most lopsided wins in AFL Ontario history, demolishing the Demons by 147 points. The Rebels were relentless across all four quarters, piling on 21 goals while holding High Park to a single behind. A complete team performance from a Rebels side hitting their stride. -
Toronto Dingo’s 93 def. Hamilton Wildcats 39
The Dingo’s bounced back strongly with a confident 54-point win over the Wildcats at Mohawk Sports Park. Their midfield dominance and forward-line efficiency proved too much for Hamilton, who couldn’t match the pace and pressure for four quarters. -
Ottawa Swans def. Toronto Eagles (Forfeit)
The anticipated clash between Ottawa and the Toronto Eagles never took place, as the Eagles forfeited the match. The result awarded Ottawa the win on paper, but both teams will be disappointed not to get a contest in what could have been a finals-shaping game.
Women’s+ Division
-
High Park Demons 98 def. Etobicoke Kangaroos 1
A dominant display from the Demons, who cruised to a 97-point win over Etobicoke. The Demons controlled the match from start to finish, with their attacking pressure and precise ball use overwhelming the Kangaroos. -
Ottawa Swans def. Toronto Central Blues (Forfeit)
In a second forfeit of the round, the Central Blues were unable to field a team against the Swans, handing Ottawa a walkover victory. While Ottawa gains the points, the lack of on-field action was a disappointing outcome for all involved.
