Final Score:........Durham Storm.............2...................Toronto Supra.................4..............

Attendance was about 100 which held for the evening as there were about that many for the earlier WCPSL Canada Cup game between Durham Region Allstars and Toronto Supra District Allstars. That game ended 0-0. A Storm official say the Windsor area team has been pulled from this ladies' league when their own district said they weren't fielding a true all-star team. Possibly a Brampton area team may take their place.

The game featured end to end rushes for parts of the game. The game got pretty rough but referee Yakov Keimakh didn't start giving out the yellow cards until the second half. Matt Gennaro of the Storm was injured at 76 minutes when he jumped for a high ball and a Supra player (not sure who) ran into him. Gennaro had to be carried to the sideline in the same position he'd fallen and had his legs up on the Supra bench while laying on the grass. An ambulance came after the game to treat his possible neck injury. Let's hope they were quick as it started to rain about 15 minutes after the game ended although the field was damp from rains earlier in the week... The ambulance drove over to him along the concrete track. It would be nice to know how the fantasy stadium designers would remove badly injured players from the sidelines. Drive a heavy ambulance on their delicately manicured lawns?

Toronto Supra this year has gone to a kit of black and white striped shirts with yellow numbers and was unreadable to me except with binoculars. Both teams had a list of their players but not their starters and sitting in the press box at this stadium I missed some of the subs that slipped into the game besides a few numbers on uniforms that weren't listed on the lineup. This was supposed to better than last week's circumstances when half the stadium lights wouldn't come on!

Supra win their first game after two losses. Storm fall to two losses and a tie.
