The national anthem was sung by four guys who they didn't really announce what boy band they might have been from. The DJ from radio station 103.5 mangled most of the player names. I saw the Sun Devil mascot and the League's new florescent yellow balls for the first time. They are certainly easier to see in twilight from the white ones.

Final Score:..........Vaughan Sun Devils........0.........York Region Shooters.......1......
Attendance was about 150 on this warm sunny evening. Peter Libicz earned the shutout.
Either team could have scored but the defensive work on both teams combined with not so great offensive strategy could have easily made a scoreless draw. Shooters players were called offside at least twelve times.
For all you fans, Bobby Randhawa came on as a halftime sub for the Sun Devils and had one good chance when he got the goal behind the YS goalie who had come about 20 yards out to clear the ball but Randhawa couldn't get control of the ball and he was surrounded by defenders and the retreating goalie.
