Final Score:....Toronto Croatia....2.....Durham Flames....1...

Attendance was about 120 on this hot humid night.

Wow two blocked penalty kicks or this would have been a blowout.

Toronto Croatia put themselves right back in to the top four teams trying for the playoff trophy in October. The league championship looks out of reach because they've played too many games and losing seven points in the standings and dividing it between your opponents has got to hurt.
