Tillsonburg final stop of season for City
By KATHY RUMLESKI,
Free Press Sports Reporter
Saturday is the last chance to catch
London City of the Canadian Professional Soccer League in action this year.
City will play the Montreal Dynamites in Tillsonburg at the newly-opened
Millennium Soccer Park at 3 p.m.
City (2-9-7) did not make the playoffs,
while the Dynamites (9-4-3) have clinched a playoff spot and are currently
second in the Eastern Conference standings with 30 points.
"It's the talk of
the town," said Chess Sulkowski, the organizer of what's being called pro soccer
day in Tillsonburg. "It's the first time we've had a professional game in
Tillsonburg."
Along with the CPSL game, the Tillsonburg under-12 Premier
boys' team will play their counterparts from Brantford at 1 p.m.
A banquet
will be held for the teams following the last game in the $600,000 clubhouse,
which will be open to the public for the first time.
Sulkowski's Grade 9
graphic design students at Annandale have put together a commemorative program,
which had sponsorship from 80 businesses in the area.
Sulkowski is
anticipating between 300 to 500 people at the game. "We've been promoting it in
the schools. We've had all the minor soccer people called."
City manager
Harry Gauss said his team is looking forward to playing in Tillsonburg.
"We've enjoyed all of the neutral-site games," he said. "We really have a
good time."
