Ryan Player scored three goals in the latest win, which improved the team’s record to 11-0. Fort Fairfield is comfortably in first place in Class D North with three games remaining.
The Fort Fairfield girls were beaten by both FK and CA by a combined score of 22-1. The Tigers, under first-year coach Jocelyn MacDonald, saw their record fall to 2-7-2.
