VFLL WEEK #13 RECAP
With our first weekend back in action from the Christmas break, all teams appeared to have the turkey sweats and showed their over-indulgence of sweets, food and beverages.
The first game back saw the Phantom take on the Knights with each team having a couple of spares for the return of field lacrosse. The Phantom had some regulars absent and the Knights didn't, which proved to be the difference as the Knights maintained control of the game from the opening whistle.

Knights: Zac Christianson
The Plugs and Chill were the representatives for our 2nd game back from the break and they both put on a good first half show. The Plugs held 2-1 and 5-2 first quarter and first half leads and the Chill's goaltending was phenomenal but the Chill cooled off in the 2nd half and the Plugs did what they do best... fill the net.

The third and final game was the closest game of the VFLL's return to play in 2024. The Turf Monsters took on the Goal Diggers and if you haven't noticed over the course of the first half of the season... the 'Diggers games most often are close games and they seem to pull out "W's" week after week. This game had each team leading a quarter or tied until the very end of the game. The lead changed back and forth and it wasn't decided until the last two minutes... a great game to watch!
