Friday night Cy Creek traveled to Stratford. The game saw both teams playing tough defense and the only goal of the first half was scored by Cy Creek on a penalty kick with 4:20 left the play. At the half, it was Cy Creek 1 and Stratford 0.

But it was all Cy Creek from then on scoring two goals at the 10 minute and 6 minute marks. Final score, Cy Creek 3 Spartans 1.
