by

Serbian White Eagles struck often with a 6-2 victory over Burlington SC, while York Region Shooters scored late to defeat St. Catharines Wolves by a single goal, two games in the CSL Wednesday night.

St. Catharines Wolves looked strong in the first half of their final home game of the regular season at Club Roma in St. Catharines – they have two away games still to play – but things took a turn for the worse when goalscorer Mohammed Mohammed was shown the red card by referee David Di Pasquale after receiving two yellow cards in quick succession for dissent and tripping at the 40th minute mark.

Playing a man short, the home side continued to play with at least a tie in mind, but at 83 minutes St. Catharines failed to clear a shot saved by goalkeeper Matthew Greco and Richard West struck for the visitors from close range for a 1-0 lead that held until the final whistle. It was West’s 18th of the season.

The win gave York Region Shooters an improved 14-3-1 record for 43 points for a tie on top of the First Division standings with Kingston FC, while St. Catharines Wolves are at 7-13-0 for 21 points.

Midfielder Nikola Miodrag scored a first half hat-trick to lead Serbian White Eagles to a 6-2  defeat of Burlington SC at Esther Shiner Stadium, he opened the scoring quickly with a goal at three minutes, then two more at 30 and 31 minutes. Forward Sahjah Reid struck the fourth goal for Serbian Eagles, finding the net past Burlington goalkeeper Vladimir Vujasinovic at 38 minutes.

Burlington’s goals were scored by midfielder Nicholas Lindsay  at 19 minutes and James Stamopoulos at the 41st minute mark and it was 4-2 at the interval.

Serbian Eagles continued to press in the second half and Kiril Dimitrov found the net to make it 5-2 at 70 minutes and Vitomar Jelic rounded the scoring at 6-2 at the 86 minute mark.

Serbian White Eagles move up to 10th position in the standings with a 6-10-1 WLT record for 19 points, while Burlington are one below with a 6-13-0 record for 18 points.

BURLINGTON SQUEAK THROUGH 4-3 FRIDAY

by
With its last game of the regular season coming up on September 20, London City will have to wait for the outcome of other late season games to determine if the side from southwestern Ontario has a berth in the championship playoffs following a 4-3 home defeat in the hands of Burlington SC Friday.
It was a ding-dong struggle at the Hellenic Centre in London with the outcome in doubt until the final whistle and the defeat left the home side needing more points than is available in their regular season finale to be sure of a playoff spot.
The prolific Marin Vucemilovic Grgic had London off to a flying start with two goals, the first at 16 minutes and another seven minutes later for a 2-0 lead, but that was cut to 2-1 when Burlington defender Nikola Stanojevic scored from the penalty spot at 45 minutes, the penalty awarded by referee Justin Tasev following a foul in the box. It was 2-1 at half-time.
The goals by Vucemilovic-Grgic were his 15th and 16th of the season and he leaps into second position in the goalscoring chart.
Stanojevic scored a second goal from the spot, awarded for a hand ball infringement for a 2-2 tie at 71 minutes.
Burlington went ahead 3-2 at the 73rd minute mark, a goal by Nenad Nikolic who found the net past London goalkeeper Corey Laureano, but it took less than two minutes for London to tie the score 3-3 when forward Robert Mutambala put the ball past Burlington goalkeeper Vladimir Vujasinovic.
Midfielder Nicholas Lindsay struck the winner for Burlington at 75 minutes, his 9th of the season.
The win gives Burlington SC an improved 6-11-0 WLT for 18 points and now tied for 8th position in the table, while London City have a 7-11-3 for 24 points in seventh position.

KINGSTON RETURNS FOR PUSH TO FIRST DIVISION TITLE…..playoff details released

by
High flying Kingston FC will be looking to maintain their three-point margin at the top of the CSL First Division when they meet SC Waterloo this coming Sunday following a successful excursion last Sunday to the University of Ottawa for a friendly encounter with the Montreal Impact Academy.
