Final Score:……..Windsor Border Stars…….3……….TFC Academy……….1…………

Attendance was about 60 on this cool and wet night with a misty rain falling most of the game. This was actually counted as a home game for Windsor as the original date of Saturday July 12th in Windsor was postponed at TFC’s request because they were in some youth tournament. With the season almost over, this game was squeezed in to the second last weekend of the year with Windsor also in the Toronto area to play TFC Academy as a TFC home game on Friday (a 1-1 tie, played at this stadium too) and then Sunday afternoon here in Maple again as a home game for Italia Shooters (their regular home stadium). TFC agreed to pick up the hotel bill in town for the Border Stars but it’s a tough three games in three day schedule for the visitors. The crowd was the family and friends of the Academy team.

I heard Border Stars last night had two players Red carded (as did TFC Academy) and when the team has traveled with the bare minimum of players or even without a full team of eleven I thought they’d be in trouble but they did make three subs during the second half to keep fresh legs out there.

Near misses were at 67 minutes when WBS Erik Elmauer received a pass from center and from 20 yards blasted a shot from the right off the right post and the rebound was cleared and at 78 minutes when TFCA Matt Stinson waited for a sky ball in the WBS box come down and he nodded a 12 yard header that hit the left post.

Tonight was the 17th birthday of TFCA player Domenic Roberts.

I asked Don Ferguson who is a goalkeeping coach of TFC Academy about their structure. They have a team in the CSL Reserves Division that is made up of their Under 16 team. They are playing in the championship game against Italia Shooters Reserves on Monday night. Next year SOME of those players may move up to the TFC Academy main team which right now is made up of their Under 17 team. There will be new players but there’s no reason why some of their players can’t stay where they are on the CSL Reserves team despite their age. SOME of the Under 17 team may advance up to the main TFC Reserves team but there is a strict line that once they do advance to that level they can’t come back to the Academy teams.

Tonight’s loss eliminated the TFC Academy from playoff contention with one game to go to complete their schedule. I can see the team improving next year if the majority of the team does stay together. This team was only culled together from tryouts within a few weeks before the CSL season started.

After the game TFC Academy coaches were congratulating Border Stars players in the hallway with intros from WBS owner Jeff Hodgson and seemed to be very interested in some of the young players.
