York Region Shooters face the stiffest of opposition against second place Toronto Croatia in their bid to complete the regular season without a loss. This weekend marks the end of the regular season in the Canadian Soccer League
It’s on Shooters’ home ground at Maple where the First Division leader will be attempting to complete the regular season unbeaten in the entire 18-game campaign and the achievement should not be taken lightly. Since 1920 only eight pro teams in Europe have gone an entire season unbeaten and it hasn’t happened at all in Major League Soccer. So it’s a rare achievement anywhere.
Another contest that’s attracting a lot of attention is the Serbian White Eagles home game against London City at Lamport Stadium in Toronto on Saturday night. One of these teams will clinch the eighth and final playoff spot with Serbian Eagles needing an outright win to succeed, while a win or tie is enough for London City.
The first round of the playoffs – the quarterfinals – will be announced this coming Sunday night to be played the weekend October 10 – 12, the semifinals will take place the weekend October 17 -19 and the finals on Championship Day at Esther Shiner Stadium, Toronto on Sunday, October 26.
