by Rocket Robin

Results of the 2nd leg of the CPSL semi-final of Cup action on Friday September 3rd, 1999 at Birchmount Stadium in Scarborough at 8:30pm between Toronto Olympians and St Catharines Roma Wolves.

Note: St Catharines was already behind 2-0 after losing the 1st leg at home on Wednesday August 25th.

58 min...Olympians GOAL Chris Handsor...Handsor 30 yard run down the right side then 15 yard shot to inside of left post.

63 min...Wolves GOAL Shane Campbell...Campbell bangs in 10 yard kick on left side to short left side of net after receiving short cross from right.

71 min...Wolves GOAL Frank Delpriore...Delpriore gets 12 yard shot high to top right side of net.

78 min...Olympians GOAL Arte Alkatov...sub Alkatov steals ball off Wolves goalie Dino Perri on right just outside of box and blasts into empty net.

86 min...Wolves sub goalie Dino Perri with back up Lee Burrows but Perri displaces a forward and stays upfront. I've seen him do this in other years. Tonight they waited too late.

89 min...Olympians GOAL Ron Belfon...Belfon chips ball from edge of box on right over charging goalie and into open net on bounce.

Final Score:.....Toronto Olympians 4...St Catharines Roma Wolves 2

Attendance was about 100 people on this hot evening.

Wolves were in an awkward spot as they had to win by two goals. When they were ahead 2-1 it looked like they might pull it off but they were forced to open up and the Olympians got their timing back and started capitalizing on their chances.

Olympians will meet Toronto Croatia in the League Cup Final Sunday September 26th at 3:00pm at Centennial Stadium in Etobicoke. An all star game will be played at 1:00pm. Croatia beat Oshawa Flames 2-0 at home on Wednesday after a 0-0 draw in Oshawa one week earlier to advance.

Tomorrow I hope to take in my fourth game in four nights while my web pages get further behind when I'll try to get down to see the Toronto Lynx final game of the season.
