The Chatsworth "Desboro Lion's Club" Atoms lost a heartbreaker in the
Maroon Championship game of their WOAA FINAL on Sunday afternoon in Belmore. Despite
being undefeated, in the regular season they lost 2-1 to Mount Forest in a close,
fast paced game. The girls should hold their heads high as they earned the

Mount Forest twice previously. Their WOAA season ends at 16 wins, 1 loss and 2 ties.

With the second win of the tournament behind them the girls would go to the final on Sunday at 1:00 pm against Mount Forest. The girls were ready, focused and worked hard but faced an agressive Mount Forest team. They dug away at the net and jammed in an early goal on Grace. The Rebels kept up the pace and
Tara Meikle tied it up, assisted
Summer Roney. Unfortunately, early in the second, Mount Forest scored their second goal on an unusual bounce from behind the net. The Rebels out played Mount Forest and out shot them 17-11 for the rest of the game but just couldn't score on Mount Forest's strong goalie, Brianna Gordon. The Rebels pulled their goalie for the last minute to try to tie it up again but as the clock ran down the girls ended up the
Silver Medalists.
They were good sports and after discussing their future strategies they all came out to cheer on the Atom HL team in the White Championship Final.
