Men’s Premier Division Matchweek 8: Guelph humbled, Vaughan stands as only unbeaten side
 
This weekend’s big men’s game did not disappoint Friday night when FC London handed Guelph United 
their first loss of the season with a 3-1 decision. A brace from Ethan Gopaul and follow-up 
from long-time striker Connor Wilson gave the Londoners three unanswered goals and a statement 
win on their Western Division and Southwestern Ontario rivals. The result means the teams are 
level on points in second, though Guelph has a match at hand. Blue Devils FC jumped into first 
in the west with a 2-1 win over North Mississauga also on Friday.

A goal-filled, four-match Saturday slate saw a whopping 19 goals, most of which in Masters FA’s 4-2 
win over North Toronto Nitros and the 3-3 draw shared between Sigma FC and Brampton ProStars. 
Elsewhere, Darby FC bested Unionville Milliken 2-0 and Scrosoppi FC got back-to-back victories 
with a 3-2 win over Windsor TFC to take the two-game season sweep. A second-half brace from 
Mulder Tyrone wasn’t enough for the Windsorites, who have managed just one point on the season (0-1-7).

1812 Barrie FC had a busy match week as he only team to play two matches… though both were losses. 
The side fell to Vaughan 2-1 Sunday night – on two goals from the red hot Raheem Rose – following up 
a 3-1 loss to Woodbridge Strikers Thursday. A brace from Dante Pavan gave The Bridge their first win 
on the season and cancelled out this Navid Rahman strike.

Weekend play kicks off Friday in an East tilt between Darby FC and Masters FA. Darby will be looking 
to climb into third place and extend a four-match undefeated streak – a big turn of form from their 
opening season three-match losing skid. Other eastern division tilts include North Toronto Nitros 
taking on 1812 Barrie FC (6:30pm on Saturday), Blue Devils hosting Sigma FC (2pm on Sunday), 
and Unionville Milliken visiting Woodbridge Strikers (7pm on Sunday).

In the west, Guelph will welcome Scrosoppi (1pm ET on Saturday), Windsor will host London 
(4:00pm on Saturday), and North Mississauga pays a visit to ProStars Brampton (7:00pm on Saturday).

Vaughan, who stands as the only L1O men’s team still undefeated (6-1-0, 19 points) gets the weekend off.
