Final Score:.........Vaughan Sun Devils..............1.....................Laval Dynamites.................2.............

Attendance was about 100 on this warm afternoon with a strong breeze from the North that affected balls in the second half.

Sun Devils had more chances but more of their shots were blocked or off target then Dynamites.

Former Sun Devils coach Dave Benning was in the stands. He is no longer coaching the team but still is in charge of the youth teams in the Glen Shields system. On the game sheets, Vaughan's owner Tony Dethomasis is listed as the coach but since he was actually on the other side of the field handling administration it was trainer/coach Sam Medeiros who was making the onfield decisions. Brampton Hitmen's coach Steve Nijjar was also in the crowd making notes for tomorrow afternoon's game between his team and Laval.

Referee Justin Tasev issued a YELLOW card to Sun Devils substitute goalie Rob Scala for swearing at him from the bench when a teammate was injured. Sun Devils defender Bayette Smith or Tony Marshall had zinged the referee good when an ice cream truck pulled into the parking lot playing the cheesiest version of Frank Mill's "Music Box Dancer" I'd ever heard. "Hey Ref; your cell phone's ringing!". Who knew what the Dynamites were cursing if they kept their comments in French?

This was the first game in the Toronto area in more than a week. The GTA governments have been ordering no stadium lights to be turned on as the city recovers from it's blackout but this weekend Laval plays two afternoon games. Monday night is a evening game in North York so we'll see if the crisis is really over. With about eleven games delayed in the last week along with about six others from earlier in the year, the season would probably have to be extended two weeks minimum.

Fourth official Isaac Raymond informed me that Denise Robinson and Sonia Dellancourt will be officials at the Women's World Cup in the United States next month. This is the second time that FIFA will use women for all refereeing and line positions.
