It’s not too many moons ago that Joe Fletcher ran the line in games at Centennial Stadium in Etobicoke and other grounds on the Canadian Soccer League circuit and even earlier when the St. Catharines resident was an Assistant Referee in Niagara Falls where he grew up as a teenager.

Known as a speedy player, Joe Fletcher took to officiating in soccer and was eventually noticed by CSL referee-in-chief Tony Camacho who offered the Niagara Falls teenager an opportunity to run the line in a nearby St. Catharines Roma Wolves home game at the Club Roma Stadium on Vansickle Road.

Joe Fletcher is still running the line, but now in view of billions of soccer fans from around the world, the estimated TV audience watching the World Cup in Russia. Fletcher was Assistant Referee for the England vs Colombia World Cup match in Moscow on July 3, his second World Cup assignment after being selected to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

Fletcher spent eight years in the CSL before progressing to Major League Soccer followed by key games in CONCACAF and other international matches after being awarded the FIFA badge in 2007. He was on the line for the FIFA U-20 World Cup Canada 2007 and soccer matches at the Olympic Games in London in 2012.

Now 41 and a Chartered Accountant, Fletcher is known for his dedication to physical fitness which led in the early years to his ability to sprint and develop a reputation for always keeping up with the play.

AN IMPROVING SC SCARBOROUGH LOOK TO UPSET FC VORKUTA SUNDAY

by

AN IMPROVING SCARBOROUGH LOOK TO UPSET VORKUTA SUNDAY

 

Three teams, Vorkuta, Serbian White Eagles and York Region Shooters, fought a late season battle for First Division honors in 2017, a battle eventually won by Vorkuta with just two points separating the top three clubs. Scarborough finished a distant fourth.

It’s a different mix at the top now, with FC Ukraine United entering the picture and Scarborough looking more like a team determined to be a serious contender for at least one of the First Division and playoff championship titles. The top four all have exceptional defensive records of conceding less than a goal per game and while it’s early days to draw any conclusions or forecasts for season end, Scarborough’s Aleksander Stojiljkovic, the league’s top goal scorer in 2017, is leading the way yet again and likely to play an important role in the east Toronto side’s bid to gain a CSL title since entering the league in 2015.

Scarborough will be determined to upset at Birchmount Stadium this weekend, a home encounter with FC Vorkuta, the only undefeated side in the CSL’s top division.

Vorkuta entered the CSL in 2017 under the technical influence of Ukrainian-born Serhiy Zayets with playing experience going back to top Soviet soccer, including FC Dynamo Kyiv in the late eighties. The team has marched on impressively ever since and as one observer put it recently: ‘Who is going to stop them winning both the First Division and the Championship’.

Scarborough SC vs FC Vorkuta at Birchmount Stadium on Sunday will kickoff at 8 pm.

In other First Division games this weekend, Real Mississauga are at home on Friday to Hamilton City at the Hershey Centre in Mississauga, an 8.30 pm start, CSC Mississauga will host FC Ukraine United at Iceland Field, that’s a 9 pm kickoff, and on Saturday, Serbian White Eagles travel to RIM Park in Waterloo for a clash with SC Waterloo, a 6.30 pm kickoff.

There is only one game in Second division is on  Sunday, Milton SC B are at home to FC Vorkuta B for a morning kickoff at the Milton Sports Centre, that’s  at 11.30 am.

FC Ukraine United inflicted a heavy 9-0 defeat on SC Waterloo and FC Vorkuta squeaked by Serbian White Eagles 1-0, two games in the Canadian Soccer League First Division Saturday.

Ukraine United forward Yevhen Falkovskyi and midfielder Pavlo Lukianets each scored a hat-trick, while Nazar Milishchuck struck twice and Vitalii Bohdanov found the net once to beat Waterloo goalkeeper Marko Jelic in a one-sided affair at RIM Park in Waterloo.

It was 4-0 at half-time.

FC Ukraine United improves its position in the standings with a 4-2-1WLT record, tied for second position with 13 points, while SC Waterloo now has a 1-4-0 record in seventh position.

Bogdan Riabets struck the lone winning goal for Vorkuta at 71 minutes following a tough and physical first half played in 32 degrees, steamy conditions at Esther Shiner Stadium in North York.

Riabets took a diagonal pass from Vadym Gostiev to drive the ball into the far corner from just inside the box.

The win was Vorkuta’s sixth of the season for a 6-0-1 record for 19 points. The 2017 season First Division winners remain unbeaten at the top of the standings.

It was the first defeat of the season for Serbian White Eagles, now with a 2-1-3 record for 9 points in fourth position in the table.

The CSL First Division resumes with four games during the weekend July 6-8.

KAVIN BRYAN SCORES TWO IN SCARBOROUGH 4-0 VICTORY FRIDAY

 

 

 

Scarborough SC moved into second position in the CSL First Division standings with a 4-0 victory over CSC Mississauga in the only game played in the Canadian Soccer League Friday.

Aleksander Stojiljkovic opened the scoring for the visitors at the at Iceland Field, Mississauga, his seventh of the season for a 1-0 lead at the 5 minute mark and this was followed by two goals by forward Kavin Bryan at 24 minutes and 43 minutes for a 3-0 Scarborough lead at the break.

Kiril Dimitrov completed the scoring, finding the net past Mississauga goalkeeper Faris Efendic at the 70 minute for a 4-0 score in favor of Scarborough.

TOP TEAMS IN ACTION THIS CANADA DAY WEEKEND

by

TOP TEAMS IN ACTION THIS CANADA DAY WEEKEND

While CSC Mississauga have yet to open their account with a win in the CSL First Division, a close look at the expansion team’s games played to date shows four of the five games have conceded just 2 goals, one against a tough Serbian White Eagles on June 1 and one against a similarly strong Scarborough SC on June 24. Games against Real Mississauga and Brantford Galaxy ended scoreless.

In the other game against the Brantford Galaxy on June 9, CSC Mississauga went down, 3-0 for a total of just five goals allowed in the five games played so far this season.
CSC Mississauga opens the holiday weekend with a match against Scarborough SC on Friday night, not an easy proposition for the CSL’s most recent entry, but any team with an average one goal per game conceded suggests better things to come as the season moves along. Friday’s match is at the Iceland Field for a 9 pm kickoff.

There are two additional CSL First Division games over the coming long weekend, both on Saturday when FC Ukraine United travels for an encounter with SC Waterloo at RIM Park, Waterloo, that’s a 6.30 pm evening kickoff. And at 7 pm, league-leading FC Vorkuta hosts Serbian White Eagles at Esther Shiner Stadium in North York at 7, which means the top four teams in the CSL First Division table will be in action in an otherwise brief schedule during the first two days of the Canada Day holiday weekend.

The success of FC Ukraine United, presently second in the standings, with an impressive runner-up finish in the CSL First Division in its 2016 inaugural year followed by winning the Second Division in 2017, can be expected to continue, which makes for a good contest with SC Waterloo on Saturday when the Southwestern Ontario team will attempt to get back on track following three successive defeats during June.

FC Vorkuta vs Serbian White Eagles is a return match following the 1-1 draw on May 25 at Centennial Stadium, an entertaining affair which could have gone either way. These two teams are unbeaten and while Vorkuta has an impressive five victories in their six games played and 7 points up on Serbian Eagles, the outcome of Saturday’s clash is still unpredictable and the match at the Esther Shiner ground will be well worth watching.

DIMITROV GOAL GIVES SCARBOROUGH SUNDAY VICTORY

EAGLES WIN ENTERTAINING 1-0 SQUEAKER FRIDAY

Serbian White Eagles maintained their unbeaten string, winning a 1-0 squeaker over FC Ukraine United in the only game played in the Canadian Soccer League Friday night.

Defender Branislav Vukomanovic struck a picture goal three minutes into the second half following a well-played 45 minutes at Centennial Stadium, a first half that produced few opportunities to break the scoreless deadlock.

The goal from 35 yards which entered the net in the top right corner well out of the long reach of Ukraine United goalkeeper Andriy Bandrivskyy was described as a rare strike, particularly from the distance.

Forward Luka Bojic struck the right post with a drive at 88 minutes for Serbian Eagles and two minutes later midfielder Pavlo Lukianets of Ukraine United came close with a free kick from 20 meters with Serbian Eagles’ goalkeeper Goran Skaric beaten.
Forward Dusan Kovacevic and midfielder Milan Mitrovic were impressive for the home side, while Ukraine United’s Roman Datsiuk on the right wing was a constant threat for the visitors to the final whistle.

Serbian White Eagles have a high output of nine points in third position in the standings, an unbeaten 2-0-3WLT record achieved from finding the net just four times in the 5 games played to date. Only two goals have been conceded, the lowest in the CSL’s top division.

“While our defense is outstanding, we do need to be more effective on attack and the goals will come as forwards return from injuries. That did start tonight with the return of the very good Dusan Kovacevic,” said Serbian Eagles’ GM Dragan Bakoc.

FC Ukraine United hold second position with a 3-2-1 record for 10 points, trailing First Division leaders FC Vorkuta by three points in the table.

UNBEATEN VORKUTA AND SERBIAN WHITE EAGLES STRONG AT THE TOP

UNBEATEN VORKUTA AND SERBIAN WHITE EAGLES STRONG AT THE TOP

As the CSL First Division enters its fifth week of the 2018 campaign, two  teams that were prominent at the top of the standings in 2017 – FC Vorkuta and Serbian White Eagles – are again bidding for the top division title, along with FC Ukraine United (runner-up in 2016) and Scarborough SC (in the top four the last two seasons).

With Vorkuta and Serbian Eagles the only teams  unbeaten at this still early stage of the season, it’s unlikely their prominence will diminish and there may well be a déjà vu at the top even though Ukraine United and Scarborough can be expected continue their strong challenge for First Division honors.

Vorkuta and Serbian White Eagles have strengthened their teams with additional signings, but Scarborough and Ukraine United are showing something extra upfront and are finding the net when needed. While things will probably change with the Eagles, their low output of just three goals scored in the four games played must be of concern and showed particularly in their last game, a 1-1 draw against Ukraine United on June 17.

These two teams meet again Friday at Centennial Stadium, a game that gives both teams an opportunity to pick-up an important three points in the close race at the top. It’s a 7 pm kickoff.

There are two games in the first Division Saturday, with Hamilton City at home to SC Waterloo, a 6.30 pm start at the Heritage Field and FC Vorkuta travels to that ground for a later game with Brantford Galaxy, an 8.30 kickoff.

There is one First Division match on Sunday, it’s at Birchmount Stadium in Scarborough where Scarborough SC is at home to expansion team CSC Mississauga, a side looking for its opening win in the Canadian Soccer League. It’s an 8 pm kickoff.

There are three games in the CSL Second Division over the weekend, a Friday night encounter at 9 pm between Serbian White Eagles B and Brantford Galaxy B at Centennial Stadium, followed by Saturday’s match between Scarborough SC B and Milton SC B at the OSA Soccer Centre, an 8.30 pm kickoff, and on Sunday it’s FC Vorkuta B vs Halton United B at St. Roberts HS Field, a 2 pm start.

by

MISSISSAUGA RIVALS BATTLE TO SCORELESS TIE FRIDAY

CSC Mississauga and Real Mississauga played to a scoreless tie in the only CSL First Division match played Friday.
It was an even, well played encounter, at times end to end, but attempts on both sides to break through usually broke down inside the penalty box and on occasion both goalkeepers – Faris Efendic for CSC Mississauga and Senad Poracanin for the visitors – were solid when the ball came their way.
Forward Pero Menalo and midfielder Jeison Steven Parra-Rengifo were prominent for CSC Mississauga throughout and Axcel Avogadro of that team had the best opportunity to find the net when his header went just wide of the right post from a corner kick at 40 minutes.
Miguel Angel Chavez-Vejar and Danilo Richards put in strong performances for Real Mississauga.
“We had most of the possession, but it was a tough game and our finishing was a little off at times when we failed to take advantage after creating opportunities to score,” said CSC Mississauga head coach Silvester Trograncic at the final whistle.
CSC Mississauga has a 0-2-2WLT record for 2 points, while Real Mississauga has a 0-1-1 for one point in the opening games of the 2018 campaign.
There is one game Saturday when league leaders FC Vorkuta travel to RIM Park, Waterloo, for a game with SC Waterloo, a 6.30 pm start, and on Sunday, Scarborough SC is at home to Brantford Galaxy, an 8 pm kickoff at Birchmount Stadium in Scarborough, to be followed by a late game Sunday night when FC Ukraine United are at home to Serbian White Eagles at Centennial Stadium in Toronto’s west end, a 9 pm kickoff.
