Final Score:.......Glen Shields Sun Devils.........2......St Catharines Roma Wolves.....1...
Sun Devils get a jump in their two game playoff aggregate. Who knows how important the Wolves away goal will be in the return leg? This was a very rough game and could be very foul filled in the return match in St Catharines.
I had originally come up to watch this game on Friday night the 2nd but the game had been rescheduled without much notice so that may be one reason why the crowd was about 80 persons. The other reason was it was brutally cold.
