Three Mississauga Indoor Football Association (MIFA) teams walked off the field victorious last night, but the real winners were the St. Martins of Tours Parish in Erin Mills.
Spectators gathered at the Rinkcity Sportsplex to watch teams in MIFA’s adult league face off and brought non-perishable food items for the church’s food drive last night.
It was the second year the league held the food drive and league coordinator Liston Bates was pleased with the result.
“We had a lot of families come out to support this,” he said. “It made for a very good community event.”
The Lyric Squad, consisting mostly of minor coaches from MIFA and the Mississauga Football League, defeated the Bears 55-0 to remain undefeated (4-0). Meanwhile, the Bears are winless on the season (0-4).
In other games, the second-place Gobblins (3-1) blanked the fifth-place X-Men (1-3) 19-0 and the third-place Rams (3-1) downed the fourth-place Dirty Birds (1-3) 32-25.
Senior, junior and peewee play begins Jan. 8.
