Final Score:……..Portuguese Supra……..4…………London City………1……….
Attendance was about 50 on this warm night. The game didn’t start until 9:00pm because of all the Ontario Cup games in the last few days. The field was in it’s worst shape of the season with big mud patches creeping through the grass because of the stomping over the weekend and the rain of Friday night and Saturday afternoon.
Michael Silva played the first 76 minutes of the game and kept London off the board. He seems to have worked out of the owner’s doghouse for his game a few weeks ago and still wears the captain’s armband. He had some help from his defenders at 9 minutes when they blocked three shots in succession and then he was sharp at around 26 minutes when he blocked or caught another three attempts. City’s Jeff Brown had a rough start to the game as he wasn’t allowed to start with the way his knee was wrapped so he missed the first few minutes.
Supra has shown some improvement in their last few games with a win over the North York Astros last week and a close loss to Serbian White Eagles on Friday night. Canadian Lions also won tonight so all the teams are making a run for the playoffs. It’s quite possible that all five teams in the International Division will make the playoffs at the expense of the worst of the National Division teams.
