Two Undefeated teams battled hard on Sunday afternoon as the
Ingersoll Express (3-0) came to Tillsonburg (4-0).
The Tornadoes and Express came out in the first period with little bit of a cautious style of play. Both teams were looking forward to the challenge of playing another undefeated team and were using the first as a feeling out period to get an idea of what they were up against. Tillsonburg played a disciplined period staying out of the box and were defensively responsible across the ice.
