1913 Dominion of Canada Football Championship

The first Dominion of Canada Championship came down to the last day, with a 2:2 draw tipping the standings in favour of St. Boniface over the hosts from Fort William. After five days of football, Toronto Old Country and Lachine were out, which meant the Norwood Wanderers FC of St. Boniface (three points) and Fort William CPR (two points) were left to fight it out. A victory by either side would ensure first place, but St. Boniface were also in a position to finish first with a draw.

Fort William opened the scoring in the first half, but St. Boniface both equalised and took the lead in the second half. Centre forward Simmonds scored both goals to give the Manitoba champions the lead before Fort William’s Jerry Dean equalised. The draw, however, was enough to clinch first place and the Connaught Cup. Centre half Billy Innes was noted as St. Boniface’s hero of the match.
