OSHAWA, ON – The Durham Lords men's soccer team win their play-in game 6-2 over the Redeemer Royals to qualify for the 2022 OCAA Men's Soccer Championship.

Durham responded less than a minute later with a 32nd minute goal from Isaiah Wisdom (Whitby, ON) with his team leading fourth goal of the season.
Not long after the second half begun, Christian Forteau (Ajax, ON) scored his first goal of the season to tie the match in the 50th minute. Five minutes later, Skylar Grey (Ajax, ON) scored his fourth of 2022 to give the Lords their first lead of the game.
Forteau scored his second of the afternoon in the 61st minute and Deandre Watkis (Ajax, ON) tied Wisdom and Grey at the top of the team in goals with his fourth of the year for a 5-2 lead.
In the dying minutes, Sean Allan (Whitby, ON) added one last goal to win 6-2 and clinch a spot in the provincial championship.
