Final Score:............North York Astros.........0.........Windsor Border Stars.........2...........
Attendance started off as 12 (twelve) and ended up at about 5 by the second half. The game had been delayed by the final of the Open Canada Cup and then a kiddie’s all-star game. By this time we’d had more rain and the temperature had sunk to a coldness combined with a bitter wind. Parkas required! The 200 fans of the Cup final had gone home and the 100 or so parents for the youth game immediately fled once their game had finished.
I’d seen Border Stars bring 12 guys to Toronto in the last two weeks so asked defender Scott Patiquin before the game began about how many guys were here tonight. He said fourteen which meant three subs. He knew they needed one point tonight to make the playoffs as losing and they’d stayed tied with St Catharines Roma Wolves but Wolves would get the tie breaker because of a better head to head record between the two teams. Looking back at my notes, I didn’t notice that any but the starting eleven played for Windsor. With the game ending at 10:49pm that still left them with a four hour return trip to Windsor and work tomorrow! They had to do this last Wednesday and Friday too.
Anthony Santilli earned the shutout for Border Stars. Non-scoring high lights from this game were at 8 minutes when WBS Woreth Sampson crossed from near the right corner flag and the ball pinball off defender and diving WBS Ablaye Abdulla header had the Astros goalie catch from 4 yards. At 12 minutes, WBS Aaron Byrd tips up a ball and his midair lob from 20 yards had the goalie fly to tip ball off bar and over the net. At 28 minutes WBS Byrd cross from 20 yards near left end line had the leaping goalie palm ball through the box above WBS players waiting for header. At 30 minutes Astros Hussein Sobh’s 35 yard blast up the middle had ball wide left but the goalie ran into the post injuring himself. One minute later Astros Eugene Ishchak stumbles but stubs a 12 yard roller past defender that diving goalie stops. In first half injury time, Astros Jahmo Welch is touched pass right and he rolls 10 yard shot wide right. At 58 minutes, Sampson’s 20 yard shot low and crumpling goalie block in center of net and big rebound cleared. At 69 minutes, WBS Will Kletzien got three chances inside Astros box after a freekick with him being twice blocked and finishing with a 15 yard shot high and wide right of net. At 78 minutes, WBS Tino Scicluna’s 15 yard blast from left had goalie push ball wide left. At 84 minutes, WBS Abdulla got the ball around the goalie from 12 yards but a defender is behind him to clear ball off line. At 88 minutes the Astros Janarthan Sadacharalingam ran up right and crosses to Astros Daniel Vocino who scissor kicks from 5 yards that has goalie catch ball in chest as he was sprawling out. At 90 minutes WBS Kletzien had a 20 yard blast off underside of the bar near the right post but the ball stayed out.
