Building momentum in League1 Ontario
Scrosoppi’s men’s and women’s teams have got early points on the board but are aiming to bounce back after last weekend’s defeats.
Back to winning ways
Scrosoppi play newly promoted FC London in the Men’s Premier on Sunday, as they look to put their 2-1 defeat to Alliance United behind them.
Despite the loss last weekend, the team have started the season well and have two wins on the board. Omari Cotterell has looked dangerous going forward, finding the back of the net twice in the first three games.
Their opponents on Sunday are still looking for their first three points of the campaign but have shown they can cause problems for teams in the Men’s Premier this season, having tied 2-2 with Alliance United in their opening fixture.
If results go their way, the reigning champions could end Sunday at the top of the table but getting back to winning ways against a newly promoted side is important for the team’s title aspirations.
More action on Sunday
In the Women’s Championship Scrosoppi host Unionville Milliken on Sunday evening. There were plenty of goals when the sides met last season, with game ending 7-0 and Sahara Zingano scoring a hat-trick.
Unionville Milliken currently sit above Scrosoppi in the standings at this early stage but a win for the hosts will help them keep pace with the sides at the top of the division.
League2 update
SFC’s Michael Crocco is the top scorer in the Men’s League2 Central Conference, but they squad are not back in regular-season action until next Thursday.
The women’s second team have made a strong start to the season by picking up 10 points from their first four games, including a big 5-1 win against Unionville Milliken on Wednesday.
Dates for the diary
With the season underway there are some big games to look forward to for all the Scrosoppi sides.
The men’s team will get their first taste of Men’s L1 Cup action on Thursday, May 22 when they host Winsor City. Scrosoppi received a bye to Round Two, where they were knocked out against Burlington last season.
Next week on May 23, Scrosoppi play current table toppers Tecumseh United in the Women’s Championship, and on Wednesday, June 11, they face Hamilton United who finished third in the 2024 standings and just a few points behind the SFC women.
