HIGH INTEREST IN ALL GAMES THIS WEEKEND AND BEYOND....the weekend games

There are two competitions going on in the CSL First Division while the top four teams 
are secure in the knowledge they have a place in the playoffs. All four are now embroiled 
in a fight for the top position, while the remaining teams battle to clinch the four 
vacant playoff spots and a place in the quarterfinals leading to the CSL Championship 
Final on November 3.

The interest in the games remaining to the end of the regular season is sky high, therefore, 
with high hopes and expectations the order of the day at every game being played 
this coming weekend.

There is greater focus on the Kingston FC game with visiting York Region Shooters 
at Queen’s West Field with these two at the top, but there is also much at stake through 
the weekend schedule to the late Sunday Toronto Croatia vs Burlington SC clash, a game 
relocated from Centennial Stadium in Etobicoke to the Hershey Centre in Mississauga – the 
kickoff time remains the same.

MIODRAG HAT-TRICK IN SERBIAN EAGLES VICTORY WEDNESDAY........Shooters on top   (correction of Wednesday's story)

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.
