As teams prepare for battle in St Catharines this weekend, let's look back at the action from Belleville this past June.

Teams across Ontario fought though hot, to stormy, bipolar weather conditions over the two day grueling event, leaving it all on the field to chase points, titles, giving our camera crew gold in the process.

Please enjoy some of the best plays captured across both days!

We couldn't get every team on the highlight reel, however, through our raw footage (link below), and no time constraints, we uploaded 50+ minutes of completions, and notable defensive plays.
