Final Score:...Windsor Border Stars..............5...............Laval Dynamites..............0

Attendance was about 100 on this hot humid afternoon with sun in the west and no wind.

The Border Stars wrapped up this game in the first half with a 2-0 lead and a one man advantage. They increased the lead but lost the services of two players through Red cards: starting goalie Anthony Santilli and starting defender/assistant coach Scott Patriquin. Patriquin after being ejected behind the stands complained that Ridouani had punched, scratched and spat on teammates but later regretted being baited into retaliating. Byrd was subbed immediately after scoring his third goal. Border Stars than played more conservatively conceding corner kick and defending well while avoiding drawing any more cards. Team owner/midfielder Jeff Hodgson said after the game the team had some extra players left back in Windsor so they will have a full bench of substitutes. (I had seen a game early in the year where they beat Toronto Croatia 1-0 with the bare eleven men, no subs). This looks like the competition that they're try to win--they are the defending champs of the Open Canada Cup last year and Hodgson has personally won three years in a row as Harry Gauss announced he was a member of the London City 2003 Cup winning team.

Les Dynamites had only brought three subs. I heard that this wasn't their 'real' team and they'd left several players behind. This was the first time this year I'd seen this team and really the first since 2003 as they sat out the 2004 season.

The game before this was the first semi-final of the Women's Canada Cup between York Region Lady Shooters and North York District Allstars won by York 3-0. I got here in time for the second half and saw all the goals. Ashley Rodrigues (65 min), Kesia Broome (80 min), and Renata DeThomasis (88 min) scored. Team co-owner Cindy DeThomasis says York University (the school) restricts any signings from playing in this league. This weekend four Ontario universities are holding a tournament so that ties up even more players. That's a problem that the USL has avoided by ending their season a few weeks earlier.
