Final Score............North York Talons........0 (0)........Kosova Albanians.........2 (2)....
Talons ended the game with only one defender as they substituted for more offensive punch in the 2nd half.
Attendance was about 230 people with a slight advantage of Kosova fans. The Talons are a merged roster of 1996 North York Talons and Scarborough Astros players. The team splits their home games at Birchmount Stadium in Scarborough and Esther Shiner Stadium in North York.
Nice to see that Ennio is still doing the PA announcements for some of the CNSL games this year. With the sound system not up to scratch, the national anthem was played by microphoning a Walkman (just like the Croatia game on Wednesday).
The game at Lamport Stadium scheduled for 7:30pm (which would have been tough to get to in time) was postponed. Of course I didn't realize the Talons game would be delayed an hour (also not in the schedule).
