The report says Holy Trinity had seven different scorers involved on the day, which neatly sums up why they have looked so difficult to contain. This does not appear to be a team relying on one star name or one pattern of play.
“We’re just putting in 100 per cent and trying to always be open,” Carter said. “We talked a lot before the game about having one of our strikers drop back and having one cut in behind. It creates a lot of chances instead of having people just run.”
For Delhi Raiders, the scoreline was brutal, but the occasion may still matter. Jackson Becker struck a realistic tone while looking beyond one difficult afternoon.
“We’ve never made the AABHN finals,” Becker said. “We’ve been close, we’ve lost in shootouts, but it’s nice to make it here, and I hope we do well at CWOSSA.”
That feels important. Even in a heavy defeat, there is a sense that Delhi has broken new ground and now has a chance to turn that into something more.
If the report is accurate, Holy Trinity next face McKinnon Park in a CWOSSA qualifier, while Delhi move on to the single-A event later this month. That is where this story really sharpens: a dominant league campaign is one thing, but knockout football now asks Holy Trinity to prove that its ambition travels with it.
