Guelph back in win column, Masters continue surge 

 

Masters FA kicked off the weekend with a statement 4-1 win over Darby FC on Friday. The result puts the defending champs five points clear for second place and a couple points behind the idle Vaughan Azzurri, though with two more matches played. The Saints are unbeaten in six matches.

Elsewhere in the east, third-place 1812 FC Barrie snapped a three-match losing streak with a 4-1 win over North Toronto Nitros and Woodbridge Strikers downed Unionville Milliken 3-0.

Guelph United got back to winning ways after dispatching Scrosoppi FC 3-2 at Alumni Stadium. Goals from Tomasz Skublak, Jace Kotsopoulos, and Brandon Wellington continued the team’s swashbuckling attack as they remain top in the Men’s goals scored category with 33 in just eight matches.

FC London beat Windsor TFC 4-1 on the back of a two-goal performance from Benjamin Vyvschaft. The Londoners have kept pace with Guelph atop the West standings on 21 points, though their opponents have a match at hand. Elsewhere in the west, ProStars Brampton took down North Mississauga 2-0 and fourth-place Sigma FC snagged a point off third-place Blue Devils with a 1-1 draw, though eight points separate the two perineal L1O powerhouses in the standings.
