Attendance was 50 and about half of them were Astro fans. Those in attendance received a bag containing a plastic milk pitcher, 85 gram bag of black pepper and the same size of curry powder all compliments of Nicey's Food Mart. The only embarrassing problem for organizers is they'll have enough prize bags for the next two or three home games.
Both the Talons and Astros still have not won a game this year. The Talons had been outscored 19-3 in their 4 games up until today in League and Cup play. Astros had one tie up until today. The rest of the League laughs as a tie gives both teams only one additional point instead of one team taking three and vaulting up in the standings.
