Holy Cross FC win ninth-straight Newfoundland & Labrador provincial title

Holy Cross FC of St. John’s won their ninth-consecutive Newfoundland & Labrador women’s provincial championship on Saturday after a 1:0 victory over challengers Feildians AA. With the lone goal scored by Jane Pope at King George V Park, Holy Cross FC qualified for the 2024 Toyota National Championships that will be played in Surrey, British Columbia later this year. It was the sixth year in a row that Holy Cross FC beat Feildians AA in the provincial final.

Pope was the Most Valuable Player of the 2022 Toyota National Championships when Holy Cross FC won their first women’s title in Vaughan, Ontario. Goalkeeper Shannon Galway, who posted the clean sheet in the 2024 provincial final, was the MVP of the 2023 Toyota National Championships in Halifax.
