Final Score:...........Toronto Supra..........1..............Vaughan Shooters..........4.........
Attendance climbed to about 100 by the end of this game played in very windy conditions. I could see Supra would be in trouble when they couldn't score with the wind from the south at their backs. Shooters goalie Brian Bowes is known around the league for having a great arm but today's grand throw found Fitzroy Powell in the clear who scored their third goal and put the game away jst as the Supra goal changed the momentum of the game.
The groundscrew at Victoria Park solved the gaping holes in the net at the south goal by tieing a second strand of netting over the original and this would stop any balls from getting through some of the beach ball sized holes in the original.
The team with the third best record in the league and this division upsets the team with the best record. The early goal by Palleschi was important in building the Shooters confidence.
