By Spirits | January 16, 2023 |

Congratulations to the U12 Belleville Spirits Girls who split their games on Sunday in Week 3 of OBL Pool B action.

The girls won game one, defeating UA Canada Elite 38-26. Coach Sandro said, it was a total team effort by all 12 girls and their best game to date!

In the second game, they faced the undefeated #1 team in the pool, Burlington Force. The girls competed hard and came out on the losing end, 34-24, but a very respectable showing against a very good team.

The girls are headed to their 4 game OBL weekend February 11-12.
