1914 Dominion of Canada Football Championship

Norwood Wanderers FC of Saint Boniface captured their second consecutive Dominion of Canada Football Championship by finishing at the top of the 1914 Connaught Cup standings. It all came down to the final day and it all ended with the same outcome: Saint Boniface captured the silverware.

For its second year, the Connaught Series expanded from six to 10 matches with the addition of the Saskatchewan winners from Regina. After four days, Regina and Lachine were out, leaving Toronto Eaton FC, Fort William CPR, and Saint Boniface in a three-way fight on the final Saturday.

In the first match, Fort William beat Toronto to reach six points, leaving only Saint Boniface with a chance to catch them. In the deciding game, Saint Boniface needed to win and they needed to maintain a superior goal average across their four matches - which they did with a 1:0 win over Lachine FC (with Nicholson the goalscorer).

HERO OF THE CHAMPIONSHIP


Goalkeeper Walter Simpson was the hero of the 1914 Connaught Cup Series as he posted three clean sheets in four matches.
