Dynamos Rugby Football Club Team The Dynamos Football Club won the O.R.F.U. Intermediate Championship in 1947, the first provincial title in football for Niagara Falls. The club organized during the summer of 1946, largely through the efforts of Phil Downie and many of the players were local returning veterans. During the 1947 season the Dynamos played a series of games against the University of Toronto Intermediates, the Oshawa Senior "B" Red Raiders, the University of Toronto Ajax squad of Canadian war veterans and the Hamilton Wildcat Juniors. The season opener at Oakes Stadium marked the first time in the history of Niagara Falls that a football game was played under lights and another first was recorded when the Dynamos handed the Wildcat team its first loss of the season and its third in three years. The well-conditioned, [--ustling] Niagara Falls side [--d] from these contests with three wins and two losses and prepared to take on the Eastern Provincial champion Cobourg Galloping Ghosts in a long awaited sudden-death [--e] for the provincial title. After a six hour bus trip which saw them arrive at the snow-banked Oshawa field shortly before game time, the spirited Dynamos employed a driving brand of football and [--k] [d--] to avenge their defeat by Cobourg in the 1946 championship round and capture the 1947 O.R.F.U. Intermediate title by a score of 13-6. The Niagara Falls [--gation] held the Ghosts scoreless for the entire second half and guaranteed the win in the fourth quarter when Dynamos' middle L. Kitney scooped up an errant Cobourg [--eral] and streaked down the field to [reg--] a touchdown. (Square brackets [--] indicate words which could not be deciphered) |
