Final Score:..............Toronto Supra............3.........Oshawa Flames........2.........

Attendance was about 100 people. Game was played in hot, hazy, humid weather with little green flies (ha! the Lynx game earlier today didn't have that).

Wow, a hattrick by league leading scorer Samuel Afriyie although the Flames could complain about the last two goals. I didn't realize the hattrick until the game was over.

The most exciting CPSL game I've seen this year (17 so far). End to end action is not the usual style of play as 2 on 2 plays or breakaways are uncommon for two team in a single game. It's usually 2 forwards rushing in on 4 defenders.
