Details of the W-League game between Toronto Inferno and Cleveland Eclipse played at Birchmount Stadium in Scarborough at 7:30pm.
Cleveland wore the worst uniforms I've ever seen with yellow numbers on white shirts. I
couldn't identify the players beyond 30 yards. My longer report will have a lot of 'Cleveland player' because I couldn't tell who was shooting. Fortunately the Inferno dominated the game.
15 min...Clev GOAL Kristen Arnott...Clev player shot from 25 yards on right. Clev player at 7 yards on left post extends foot but may have missed ball. Inf goalie Sarah Buckland dove left but missed ball.
24 min...Inf GOAL Jo Hinks...Inf Heather Forsyth pushes 40 yard shot from right into box.
Hinks shoots 12 yard shot over sprawling goalie Patricia Cooke.
53 min...Inf GOAL Laura Glasspoole...Inf Forsyth cornerkick from right that goalie
and defenders miss ball. Glasspoole on left side blasts 12 yard shot to top
right corner of net.
Final Score:.....Toronto Inferno.....2....Cleveland Eclipse.....1....
Attendance was about 120. There had been a sprinkling of rain about an hour before the game but it didn't rain again. The field was slippery.
This game didn't count for the Inferno in the standings but it did for the W-2 Eclipse. The league has done this scheduling in the past because sometimes these games end up counting if there are any cancelled games.
