St. Anne's girls capture A-pool title at Tilbury Titans soccer tournament
The 11th annual Tilbury Titans Soccer Tournament wrapped up in May with high-energy play, sportsmanship and fierce competition from high school teams across southwestern Ontario, including Windsor, London, Chatham and Sarnia.
Hosted by Tilbury District High School, the long-running event has become a spring tradition, drawing top soccer talent to the community and giving young athletes a chance to compete at a high level. The 2025 tournament was no exception, with dozens of teams vying for titles in multiple pools.
Among this year's standout performances was the senior girls' team from St. Anne Catholic High School in Lakeshore, which captured the A-pool championship. The team successfully defended its title for a second consecutive year, with support from four junior players called up for the tournament.
'Congratulations to the senior girls' soccer team (and four members of the junior team) in defending their title at the annual Tilbury Titan Cup,' the school shared in a post following the win.
Parents and supporters packed the sidelines throughout the event, creating a festival-like atmosphere despite rainy weather during early matches.
'It's such a fantastic event,' said Megan Drouillard, a parent from Comber. 'You can really see how hard these girls work, and the sportsmanship from all the teams was impressive.'
'We've been coming to this tournament for years, and it just keeps getting better,' added Kevin Marshall, a parent from Chatham-Kent. 'It's well organized and a great showcase for high school talent.'
Organizers say the tournament not only promotes healthy competition but also helps foster strong community ties through sport. As the tournament continues to grow, schools and families alike look forward to returning each year.
St. Anne's championship win is expected to give the team momentum heading into the WECSSAA playoffs later this spring. With experienced leadership and a rising crop of junior players already making an impact, the Titans may have handed the crown over — but St. Anne's is proving it's a powerhouse to watch.

Tom Rafferty, an offensive lineman who won a Super Bowl with the Cowboys, dies at 70
WINDSOR, Colo. (AP) — Tom Rafferty, an offensive lineman who won a Super Bowl and played with two Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterbacks in Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman over 14 seasons with the Dallas Cowboys, has died. He was 70. Rafferty died Thursday in Windsor, Colorado, where he had been hospitalized since early May following a stroke, his daughter, Rachel Powers, told The Dallas Morning News. A year after getting drafted out of Penn State, Rafferty's first season as a starter was at right guard in 1977, which ended with the Cowboys' 27-10 victory over Denver in Super Bowl 12. He played the same position a year later when the Cowboys lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers 35-31 in the title game. After a move to center, Rafferty threw one of the key blocks on Tony Dorsett's record 99-yard touchdown run in a 31-27 loss at Minnesota on Jan. 3, 1983. Dallas had 10 men on the field for that famous play. Rafferty's final season was Aikman's rookie year in 1989, when he started eight games at center for a 1-15 team. Rafferty is one of 12 Dallas players to spend at least 14 seasons with the franchise. He was teammates with seven players on that list. ___ AP NFL:
