The tie was enough to give Yorkton second place in the seven team tournament and a spot in the final versus Swift Current Forrester United.
Swift Current was also winning a lot of their games by heavy margins much like Yorkton so this was certainly a meeting of the two best teams in the tournament.
The Yorkton United Storm were able to take a 1-0 half time lead when Rusnack was able to put tap the ball into the net off a crossing play.
However the Swift Current team tied the game up shortly into the second half.
Rusnack added his second goal of the game to pull ahead and Mandziuk added Yorkton's third goal of the game to take a comfortable lead.
However Swift Current was able to flood the Yorkton zone and score two goals with only about two minutes to play in regular time.
Yorkton was unable to capitalize on a few chances and the game was sent into 'golden goal' extra time.
The Yorkton U10 Storm had a couple of chances before Swift Current was able to bring the ball down field, score and end the game. Despite the loss the kids were quite happy to lead the tournament with a well deserved silver medal.
The coaches were quite pleased with the play of the team and each players progress as the tournament went on.
