TORONTO WEST OVER TORONTO EAST

TO WIN ALL-NIGHT INDOOR CHAMPIONSHIP

Fresh off their 2017 championship season, the Toronto West Saints has served notice that they intend to continue their winning ways into 2018.

The Saints won the inaugural indoor championship in Scarborough May 10, running the table, winning seven games in seven hours of frenzied football, and beating Toronto East in the title game.

Dubbed March Midnight Madness, the indoor tournament attracted 10 teams, included an entry from Ottawa. 

Two new churches -- Immanuel and Downsview -- joined the football fraternity and spiced up the tournament. Downsview, in particular, filled the indoor arena with enthusiasm, featuring a loud cheering section bolstered by black and white pom poms.

The tournament was sponsored by the Ontario Conference's men's ministry and youth departments; and the OYMFL.

Winners received $500 and runner up got $250.
