Final Score:......York Region Shooters..........1..............Milltown FC.............1...............

Attendance was about 125 on this warm evening.

The last play of the game had been building for the last 30 minutes of this game. After Milltown took the lead their scoring chances ended except for trying to score on counter attacks when the Shooters pressed forward. At least twice Shooters goalie Camilo Benzi raced forward well out of his box to clear through balls into the Shooters half. At 74 minutes he came upfield to take a 25 yard freekick from the left but laughably put it well over the net well worse then the Shooters outfield players were aiming. (maybe twice the distance and a kick like that might work?...hmm). At 89 minutes the Shooters forwards had about three shots within 15 seconds including a shot off the right goalpost. Jason DeThomasis had slipped when he tried to turn at 12 yards to get to a ball on this play and the player behind him blasted a shot. This action was so fast I couldn't write it down. (was this chance more practice for later in the game?...hmm). Milltown FC goalie Scott Cliff was time wasting. There is nothing wrong with waiting for a player to rush into the box to force him to pick it up and Kadian Lecky obliged time after time so Cliff could do his cartoon Lucy and Charlie Brown's football routine but he was lucky that referee Manuel Orellano didn't give him a Yellow for wasting time taking goal kicks or passing off that responsibility to call a defender 30 yards away to take them. Some leather lunged fan kept pointing out the time wasting in Spanish to Orellano. After the tying goal Orellano chased down Rollins to give him a Yellow card for pulling off his shirt to celebrate then blew the whistle before play could be restarted. The four minutes of extra time was a fair rate I'd say because of a few injuries and no ball boys despite the whistling from the Milltown fans in the crowd.

Shooters missed a lot of scoring chances but Scott Cliff had to be brilliant at 86 minutes when Nicolas Martinez took a 25 yard shot from the left that had Cliff snag the ball on a one handed grab over his head to grab with Shooters players wairing for a tap-in that I don't think even they could have missed.

Milltown officials confirmed they'd be losing a few players as identical twins Erick and Eros Olazabal were going back to university. Interesting they were both subbed at halftime. Also Christopher Suta is leaving for the Canadian U-20 National team training camp. TFC Academy has similar problems.

Today's tie puts the Shooters up to 28 points--one point up on the Serbian White Eagles who must love this result as Milltown moved up to 26 points. The White Eagles have three games in hand on both teams.
