Final Score:.........North York Astros.........1...........St Catharines Wolves........2.....
Attendance was about 50 people. North York Astros complete their home record by losing all seven home games in League and Cup play.
Wolves only had one substitute on their bench and I thought the Astros would exploit that as the second half wore on but that's not what happened.
Astros are four points behind Wolves but have a better chance of making the playoffs because they have two games in hand...if they could actually win them.
