Final Score:.....Toronto Italia.........3..........Oakville Canadian Westerns........1
Attendance: about 400 (It's good to see the attendance not dropping off). There was no sound system tonight (each game it seems to rotate with a truck being there or not). There is no scoreboard so my times seem to be off by three minutes of Mike from the League's stats but then all either of us had were our own wristwatches.
