Halftime:...A Boys Under 10 game between Mississauga and Uruguay (two local teams) was continued between halves. They had played before the first half. 10 to 15 minute mini halves. Uruguay scored at least once in each half. They acted as ball boys while the game was on.
2nd half:
Halftime Supra subs...Mitchell replaces Ionadi.
.....................................Broomes replaces Faria.
48 min...Supra YELLOW card...Manuel for elbowing Gebczynski while both going for header at midfield. Gebczynski is seriously injured. The game is delayed for 30 minutes as although he's near sidelines, the field is bounded by low concrete walls so a deflected ball could cause further injury. Eventually an ambulance drives through the south gate (time wasted as it can't enter from the north) and right onto the field (artificial turf). Gebczynski is stretchered into the ambulance with a neck brace.
City sub...Player/coach Roney replaces Gebczynski.
51 min...Supra goalie stops McCarthy low cross.

87 min...Supra GOAL...Mella taps in pass from Moore who had run out of room.
Final Score:........Toronto Supra.......8 (5)........London City..............1 (1).......
Attendance was about 150 people. Supra had beaten City 8-0 in London nine days earlier. The word must be getting around the league to press the defence and wait for mistakes. City also had a track bag from their bench stolen at halftime to complete a perfectly ghastly day for them.
