Toronto Croatia take on the current CSL title holders SC Waterloo at the Hershey Centre in Mississauga Saturday afternoon for an interesting and what should be an attractive fixture to watch. Both teams took surprise defeats in their opening games and Waterloo were beaten in their second, while Toronto Croatia managed to reverse the result in their second game last weekend.
But opening games are unpredictable and we can expect these teams will be in full stride quickly and once again bidding for the top positions.
Kingston FC has given notice they intend to embark upon the same aggressive path that took the talented side to an unexpected but impressive First Division win in 2013. They visit Esther Shiner Stadium on Sunday afternoon for a game with North York Astros.
Kingston head coach Colm Muldoon said his team had several more chances to score in the opening two games but the team’s timing was not quite right. “When we get the timing right,” he said, “we will finish off the numerous chances we are creating.”
Niagara United, coming off a 2-1 defeat in the hands of Kingston last weekend following an impressive 4-1 victory over London City in the opener, are at home to Serbian White Eagles Saturday evening, London City host Brampton City Utd, also on Saturday and Burlington SC, with two wins in the opening two games, visit Maple for a game with York Region Shooters.
An interesting game in the Second Division is Friday night’s clash between Toronto Croatia B and SC Waterloo B. These teams meet for the first time since Waterloo defeated Toronto Croatia for the Second Division Championship on November 3. There is one postponement in the CSL Second Division, the Serbian White Eagles B vs. Niagara United FC B has been called off due to ground conditions.
