Despite buckets of sporadic rainfall, Unionville was a fine final Tour stop destination, thanks in large part to the warm weather and delicious BBQ snacks at the HQ.
The Ottawa Capitals made the largest splash, however, as they defeated their long time nemesis Burlington Spartans in a defensive oriented 15 to 14 semi-final result. They advanced to rematch the Toronto Trojans in the finals, who they defeated at the previous stop in a memorable finish. The Capitals got out to an early three score lead in this one, and while the Trojans made a valiant late effort, they couldn’t close the deficit. With this win, the Capitals earned consecutive elite titles, and a return to the top of the standings.
Women’s Results
The Ottawa Devils, already short benched, limped to the finals with 7 players. Against the odds, the Devils dug deep to defeat the fresher Toronto Rockets to capture their first elite title since Brampton. This victory put the Devils back in Ontario's top spot.
In women's A action, the Toronto Wolverines and Landell Lightning continued their long fought rivalry in the finals, where the wolverines earned a n impressive 26 to 21 result to tie Landell in the standings.
Rounding out the remaining women's championships, the Toronto Wildcats dominated the Toronto Assassins 19 to 1 to earn the BB title, while the young Hamilton Vikings earned their first title of the season with a 1 to 0 decision over the Toronto Jaguars.
Men’s Results

The Kingston Vikings continued their late Tour season surge in the BB play-offs, scoring 114 combined points in their three elimination bouts to run away with the title.
