The first game was a , "Shoot Out in Grimsby", with the Toros gaining the 9-8 victory.

All of Bowmanville's goals were scored by different shooters who ' were; John Romano George Pithie, Paul Stainton, Glen Campbell, Mark Tripp, Gareth Stone, Scott Page, Troy Harness and Chris Shmyr. Game two in the Toro Pen at Darlington saw the Dutchman midgets continue their prolific scoring but Webster shut the door on Grimsby allowing only one across the line while picking up an assist on the final marker by George Pithie.

Campbell Campbell added the go ahead marker when he stole the puck and went in for an unassisted effort.Grimsby renewed their torrid pace to tie the game and take the lead with seven minutes remaining in the third period. It was the Toros' turn to apply the pressure with Glen Campbell again being the marksman on passes from his linemates ' Stone and Pithie, This put the game into a 10 minute overtime period. There was some key action at both ends before the Grimsby goaltender took his stick to Gallant, who often ventures into the opposing crease, and earned a two minute penalty. On the second face-off opportunity, opportunity, David Fairey pulled it back to Géorge Pithie on the point who powered home ,the winner. The last four minutes were action packed with several close calls but the Midget Toros hung on for the game and series win.
