UPCOMING CSL AWARDS NIGHT FOR THE WINNERS……..CSL releases list of individuals nominated

The playing season is over, but not the shouting.

 

The shouting, cheering, applauding will take place at the outstandingly elegant Mississauga Convention Centre on Sunday evening, November 25. That’s when the annual CSL Awards Banquet takes place, to honour and pay tribute to the winners – clubs, teams, players, coaches and the best of the referees, will all receive their awards.

 

We do know that Toronto Croatia successfully defended their previous year CSL Championship win, leaving a gallant, gutsy, younger Montreal Impact Academy as the runners-up following a 1-0 squeaker in the final on October 27. These same teams finished 1, 2 in the regular season First Division final standings.

 

We know also, that SC Toronto Reserves captured the Second Division Championship on the same day, a 3-1 victory over Brampton City Utd. TFC Academy II had earlier won the regular season Second Division league title.

 

Drazen Vukovic, a midfielder with SC Waterloo won the First Division goalscoring title with 20 goals, while Gino Berardi, a forward with Windsor Stars, topped the Second Division scoring with 17 goals.

 

But the majority of the CSL’s best, both club and individual, will not be known until presentation night.

 

The following were nominated by the CSL member clubs, the winners to be announced at the banquet on November 25:
