Final Score:.......Glen Shields Sun Devils......7........North York Astros.......0......
Attendance was about 150 persons. There was no admission fee tonight.
Astros had trouble scraping up 11 players. Longtime Astro PA announcer Enio Perruzza suited up for the game as a substitute and was to play the last two minutes of the game so he could tell his relatives in Italy that he played in the 'Canadian Premier Soccer League' at least once. He turned out to be the only substitute that showed up and when Osman Jiminez was legimately injured he came in for the last 12 minutes of the game. He told me he touched the ball twice.
