Final Score:........Glen Shields Sun Devils......4........York Region Shooters.....3...
Glen Shields clinch a playoff berth with this win. They most likely will finish 3rd ahead of the slumping North York Astros. York Region is in an awkward position of 5th with only one game left and that's against the undefeated Toronto Olympians on the road.
This was an exciting come from behind game with York behind 4-0 and scoring their 3 goals in the last 13 minutes. Still Glen Shields deserved to win and could have had a 7-0 lead if they'd capitalised on a few more early chances.
