A weekend of huge matchups that will have a bearing on playoff seedings and help separate pretenders from contenders begin Saturday night at Mississauga Valleys. It’s Downsview vs Toronto West. Downsview are winners of four straight. Toronto West is still looking for a quality win.

Downsview has served notice that it intends to grab the league title in its inaugural season, rattling off four straight victories after losing the first two. Toronto West has fielded an unstable lineup so observers don’t now what to expect from them.

This matchup will reveal a lot – under the lights at the grass field of Mississauga.

The big-time matchups continue on Sunday (July 7).

At Gordon Graydon in Mississauga, Perth battles Apple Creek in a titanic struggle against two of the three top ranked teams. Is Apple Creek as good as the early results indicate. Or, is Perth the class of the league and will they continue to roll over opponents.

That 10 am game is followed by Meadowvale vs Mt. Olive at 11.30.

In the East, at Woburn Collegiate in Scarborough on Sunday, note the time change.

9 a.m. – It’s Kanisa vs East, a perennial rivalry game that Kanisa badly needs to start feeling good about themselves. East, meanwile, has only stumbled once this season, against Perth.

10.20 — Toronto West plays Woodbridge and a loss would signal doom for the Saints and hope for Woodbridge.

11.40 — Philly vs Malton – a contest that might surprise, if Philly rides in over-confident.
