Final Score:..........North York Astros.........0...........Toronto Croatia...............0...............
In the Toronto Croatia games I've seen this year, they usually score on 20-25% of their good chances. Tonight they had barely three and were shut out by the Astros defence and forwards pressuring the Toronto Croatia defence. This was the first game for both teams in the Cup round games. They have to finish in the top three of their division which includes York Region and St Catharines to make the semi-finals.
Attendance was less than 100. The Astros have a great bargain Family pass. The pass is $10 which lets a family of four in to the home games for the whole season. In other words, a season ticket for $10!
