Final Score:.............Toronto Olympians............6............Glen Shields Sun Devils.............0............
Attendance was about 60 people on this warm day. They started with about 15 but built up as the game went along maybe because of the Ontario Cup game after this one.
Dave Mancini had four goals! The game was actually quite competative for the first half and then the Olympians pulled away as they could time their runs better to beat the offside traps.
I'd like to have seen Brian Bowes try a header now that he has an Afro like one of the late 1970s Jackson Five.
Olympians take over first place pending the result of the Ottawa Wizards game against Brampton Hitmen...(see next post)...
