Final Results:........North York Astros..........7...........London City........0.....
Attendance was about 70 people. Ivan Jurisic scored three goals and Ennio and I in the press box announced the 90th minute goal as if he'd scored his fourth. A 'big' score win may be important at the end of the season to sort out the League playoff spots. London was hit with injuries as both Kenrick Emanuel and Junior Emanuel (first cousins) and Anthony Dominique weren't playing which represented their entire forward line earlier in the season.
