A welcome addition to the club was six-time allstar Dwayne Scott who looked like he never left the game two years ago in making three tackles -- two for a loss -- and one hurry. Captain Wayne Sliwinski also had a great game with three tackles -- 2.5 tackles for losses. `The defence was the best overall performance we have had this year." The same can't be said for offence which, overall, " did not play to their potential, with only 133 total offence, which is to say that Mississauga had a good defence." Penalties were also a problem w ith 10 penalties for 110 yards "which hurt us offensively."
