The Rovers continue to struggle to score points in their 2009 rebuilding campaign. After fielding exactly 11 men for the game, they manage to stave off the Selects offense through the first half with some good passing through the midfield and some exciting saves from rookie keeper Jean Francois Fortier. Tony Bufo netted the only goal for the Rovers before the Selects managed to coordinate their attack as well as benefit from a few on-side calls. Other notable mentions for the match: Bobby Piazza, Enzo Cerif, Juan Mendoza and Jean Marrier. The very fact that the whole team  played  the entire duration of the match in less than favorable conditions also has to be mentioned.

The Iron-Side Rovers struggled through the second half as fatigue set into the team. Veteran Rover call up: Enzo Cefis had to retire due to a recurring hamstring injury. The lack of subs meant the team finished the game with 10 men despite a clean card sheet.

The Selects goals were scored by Christian Theirren (14), Andre Tremblay (19) 2 goals, Javier Hoyos (17) 2 goals. Tremblay and Hoyos also picked up yellow cards. Tony Bufo scored the Rover lone goal.
