Final Score:..............North York Talons..........0.........Toronto Supra..........4...
Attendance was about 50 people. Although it was the Labour Day weekend, I expected more Supra fans to travel to see their team. Supra has too many ties in the League competition and would have to hope for a tie between Italia and Wolves to put themselves back in the race. Talons kept the goals against down this week but still hasn't won this season.
