Final Score:...........Toronto Croatia..........1.........Oshawa Flames.......1.......
Attendance was about 200 people.
Oshawa applied the early pressure but couldn't put the game away in the first half. Toronto Croatia had more chances in the second half but couldn't get the win. Oshawa remains undefeated but '1 win, 3 ties' means they lose ground in the standings against teams that 'win more, lose more'.
It's hard to see substitutes come into the game on the other side of the field in the twilight so I'll try to remember to bring binoculars next time.
