The Astros lose a great opportunity to almost lock up a position in their division of the Cup competition after holding both Toronto Croatia and St Catharines Roma Wolves to scoreless ties. Astros problem in this game too was their lack of scoring. The Shooters now pass the Astros in points 3 to 2. Three of these four teams make the semi-final of Cup competition.
The Astros Miles O'Connor is a member of Canada's Under 20 National team.
