The Listowel Cyclones beat London 6-1 to take a 3-1 series lead in the Sutherland Cup Semi-Final.

The intermission didn't fix anything for London. Chayse Herrfort was sprung loose 40 seconds into the second period and sent the puck through the legs of London goaltender David Ovsjannikov for a 3-0 lead. And that did it for Ovsjannikov, he was lifted for Zachary Springer. It was Springer's first appearance in the GOJHL playoffs.

In the third period, London scored with just under three minutes left in the period.
