Final Score:......Serbian White Eagles.........1...................Kingston FC........1............

Attendance was about 80 which included about 15 Serb Ultras supporters who lit fireworks from the stands. This was a White Eagles game scheduled for tonight but it was to be held at Centennial Stadium in Etobicoke until changed on less than a week's notice because of continueing repairs to that field--not the flood damage from July but the damage caused by the Extreme sports permit holders.

The game wasn't particularly rough but referee Armando Pereira had to give out a few Yellow cards.

Best non-scoring chances were at 6 minutes when SWE Sahjah Reid rushed in from the right and took a 15 yard shot down the middle that was saved by the sliding goalie at 10 yards. 25 minutes had the KFC goalie fly forward to push away a cross sent in by Reid and SWE Nikola Miodrag shot a 7 yarder along the left end line into the outside webbing of the net. 36 minutes had KFC George Anthony El-Asmar give a short pass from the left to KFC Catalin Lichiouiu whose 5 yard shot had the goalie make a point blank save and the rebound was cleared by a defender. 38 minutes had SWE Djorjije Stunjas's cornerkick from the right which SWE Vadym Zayarnyy headed a 10 yarder from the right that was caught by the goalie. 56 minutes had KFC Jason Massie send a short freekick forward from 25 yards on the right to KFC Lichiouiu who crossed from 20 yards that the goalie caught over his head preventing an easy head in for KFC players waiting on the left post. 76 minutes had SWE Reid on a rush stop and round the goalie at 10 yards and get away a shot that KFC captain Austin White saved at 3 yards.

The game ended just before 11:00pm and within 20 minutes we received the rainstorm that had been so hard in London earlier in the evening that it cancelled their game.

The Serbs had just played on Wednesday night in an effort to get the make-up games in before the season ends in a few weeks but they didn't tire out by the end of the game and had just as many chances at a winning goal as did Kingston. Kingston couldn't have been pleased in not beating the then 10th place team except that Guillaume Surot added to his league leading goal total. Waiting outside their dressing room to get an assist on their goal (which turned out to be a deflection) I heard a lot of f-bombs dropped by the coach.

The tie moves White Eagles record to 6 wins, 10 losses and 2 ties and into a tie for 9th place with Astros Vasas FC both on 20 points. Kingston moves into 1st by one point with a record of 14 wins, 3 losses, 2 ties for 44 points. They now travel home to Kingston to play York Region Shooters on Sunday who are in 2nd place and had some officials at tonight's game looking on.
