Attendance was only about 30 people for this beautiful day. More than half the fans appeared to be supporters of London. There were even some fans who left after the long delay to get started. Their tickets were drawn to win the soccer ball door prize. It took until the third ticket to find a winner. I was paying attention to working the scoreboard and announcements and haven't written this until a week later so that's why I've forgotten details of the first goal.
