These teams have met numerous times in the Championship game over the last several years with mighty Valhallians from Victoria always managing to come out on top in very tight competitive games.

Since winning their first NVIRU trophy in the spring of 2010, Velox has claimed it 6 times in the last 4 years. Ideal field and weather conditions on Herd Rd. as the kick off sailed through the air...
