POLL PREDICTS T-WEST vs TITANS FINAL  

Toronto West will play Toronto East in the finals of the OYM Football League, according to a poll conducted for the OYM website.

A solid majority – 57 percent of those who responded to the poll — picked either Toronto East Titans or Toronto West Saints to win it all on the last weekend in August.

The Titans and the Saints were tied with 29 per cent support in the poll. Defending champions Mt. Olive and Kanisa Conquerors each garnered 14 per cent support, while Perth and Downsview were each selected by 7 per cent of respondents.

The run to the championships begin Saturday night at Mississauga Valleys when Toronto West take on Kanisa. The two teams battled through an up-and-down contest during the regular season, with West prevailing 17-12. On Saturday night the loser goes home and the winner moves to the final four.

The poll was conducted Thursday and Friday and asked OYMFL managers, coaches and players to pick who they think will win the championships. Respondents could not pick their own team.

“It’s a East versus West final. East wins,” wrote one respondent to the online poll which is entirely unscientific and was done for fun and general interest.

In all, 14 people responded by press deadline. Four picked East, four chose T-West, two picked Olive, two voted for Kanisa and one person each selected Downsview and Perth.
