Final Score:.........Durham Flames............1...........Ottawa Wizards.........5..........
Attendance was about 150 on this hot and sunny afternoon when the game started on a wet field.
Wizards were just far superior to this team. With more accurate shooting they could have raised their score to double digits. Probably the only way they won't win the triple crown of trophies this year is they have to play three games next weekend in London. (details of the draw are in my next post). It may certainly test their bench strength. They had a full seven subs on the bench plus it looked like three or four others sitting in the stands.
