Final Score:...Yellow Team.......2.....Blue Team......1......

This game was more coherent than the morning games.  Yes there were still quite a few offsides. 
The five FC London players all ended up on the Yellow team.  The five Woodbridge players 
and five Oakville players were split between teams.  The four Vaughan players were also 
split equally.  These were by far the teams with the most reps working their way to this final 
game.  A look back at the 2018 standings and playoffs and league cup games shows they were top 
of L1O so it's not a surprise for their good showing.  

This game seemed of a better quality than the morning games—considering with the morning games 
having almost no bench strength these players were in their second hour of play in this game.  

The Yellow team's first goal was a trick play freekick involving a third player as a decoy.  
These players were not on the same club teams last year.  There were also some back heel passes 
that didn't quite connect with the players not familiar with these strangers.  

Players' names for this game were on a list posted to the hall wall that I was allowed to take 
a picture of but the players had not been assigned teams nor numbers so the list was of limited 
help.  After the game I was allowed to take a picture of the game sheet on the promise that 
I wouldn't tweet a picture of it.  OK!  This was the only way the game made sense.  Thanks 
Anthony Totera for this favour.  One bonus in waiting is one of the coaches had written 
in the playing time of each player.
