Final Score:...........North York Astros...............0...............Mississauga Olympians.............8..............
Attendance was about 100 on this evening with storm clouds threatening most of the game but ending with sunlight as no rain actually fell. Esther Shiner has a new scoreboard that ticks away in bright red lights. Such an improvement from that 33% burned out bulbs/circuits from last year. Very nice City of Toronto!
The turning point of the game was when Astros defender Kurt Ramsey as last man back pulled down MO Kevin Desurpa on breakaway and referee Manuel Orellano calls a Penalty Kick and gives Ramsey a RED card.
