Final Score:...........North York Astros............1............St Catharines Roma Wolves............2........
Attendance was about 100 people.
Astros had a chance to win a home game tonight as the Wolves had a very depleted roster. They only brought 12 players. Four players are out with injuries and some of the starters were injured too. Forward Carlos Arghittu is away in Italy on his honeymoon. The Wolves were tiring badly in the last thirty minutes of the game but the Astros couldn't score enough.
