It was absolutely no contest for the Hafford Vikings in the 1A provincial football final.

The Vikings completely demolished the Hanley Sabres by a 64-8 score in the final game in Hanley, winning the six-man football title.

The win caps a spectacular campaign for Hafford, who began with a road trip to Meeteetse, Wyoming, for an exhibition game and who lost only one game the entire season.

Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of the Vikings’ run is that the Vikings fielded a young team this year, with only one graduating senior. That means the core group will be back next year looking to defend the title.

In provincial 1A playoffs, Hafford defeated LCBI 79-57 and Southey 98-32 on their way to the final. The strong fan support during the home playoff games carried over to this weekend, with an estimated 200 Hafford fans making the trip to Hanley on Saturday for the final game.
