CrossFit Belleville – Bantam
The Red Devils played host to the York Simcoe Express who are currently in second place in the West ETA division on Saturday and won the game in a decisive defensive effort 5-2, to pick up their 12th straight win. The defensive effort allowed very few offensive opportunities and the Devils played well in their own end and as a result didn’t spend much time inside their own blue line.
