Day 7 of the AFL 2024 Transatlantic Cup in Toronto featured two women’s semi-finals that would see victors as champions of their continent, and more importantly put them into Sunday’s Grand Final.
The Irish Banshees were up against their neighbours from across the Irish Sea, the Great Britain Swans. The Swans arrived at the semi-final undefeated in their three round matches, while the Banshees had suffered one loss to Canada’s Northern Lights in Round 2.

Day five has produced another "upset" result (one each day) where a lower ranked nation has prevailed, this time in United States v. Great Britain game three. United States Freedom rose from 6th to 5th Place with the maximum 3.00 points gained to 47.03 pts.
Rain greeted all nations at they arrived for Day 5 of the AFL 2024 Transatlantic Cup in Toronto today. The host nation Canada went into today’s first match against France with a 1-1 record, the French 0-2. A win would mean Canada go to the semi-final, or alternatively a big win might see France through.
In the wet conditions it was Canada who dominated early and had the ball in their forward half for most of the match. The slippery ball made kicking for goal difficult and assisted the spoiling efforts of the Gauloises back six.
