Final Score:.......Toronto Croatia.......3............St Catharines Wolves........4....
Jerry Cipriani plays the role of 'SuperSub' as he comes in at the 64th minute and scores the final three goals of the game. Wolves were missing quite a few regulars as they brought up King and Pasquini from their Roma Under 19 team and had Carbonara, Reinhart and Conte on trial.
Attendance was about 40 people. This was another good effort by Toronto Croatia who are well out of the playoffs but end their mini streak of three ties in a row..
