1923 Dominion of Canada Football Championship
Nanaimo FC Wanderers were the first team from British Columbia to win the Connaught Cup as the Dominion of Canada Football Association’s champions. From the west, Nanaimo eliminated Alberta’s Coleman and Manitoba’s Fort Rouge Rangers en route to the Canadian Final against Montréal. In the two-leg Final at Winnipeg, Nanaimo won Saturday before Montréal won Monday to even the series 1-1 on aggregate. In the extra third match, Nanaimo won 1:0 to win the series 2-1 on aggregate.
It was noted that rain dampened the last match, but Nanaimo still dominated play and even hit the crossbar before scoring the winner in the second half. Goalkeeper Tommy Routledge posted his third clean sheet of the playdowns while Fowler scored his third goal.
