Final Score:............Glen Shields Sun Devils...............3..................London City............0.............
Attendance was about 80. A few members of the York Region Shooters team were in the stands taking interest as a win tonight clinches the last playoff spot for the Sun Devils.
The win tonight assures the Sun Devils of the fourth playoff spot in the League race. They will be in the Playoff tournament in London at the end of the month and will have to play London City on the Friday night as the hosts were guaranteed a spot at the beginning of the season but are likely will finish last (eighth).
The schedule worked out that this was the first time I'd seen London City play this season.
