Promotion party

Scrosoppi were also celebrating end-of-season success after a 2-1 win at Pickering on Sunday secured their place in the Premier Division for 2026.

Yasmin Castillo then won the game in the 86th minute to seal promotion.

Hamilton United ensured they will be in the Pro/Rel Playoff after a 5-0 home win against Unionville Milliken on Saturday. Chiamaka Omeze scored a hat-trick alongside Chiara Nicolazzo and Niyah Noel-Gordon’s goals to set up a meeting with FC London.

Oakville narrowly missed out on a shot at promotion even after defeating Tecumseh United 2-0. Sally Steinberg and Alena Spehar scored to claim the win but Oakville ultimately finished third, three points away from second.

Burlington ended their campaign with a 3-2 home victory over Whitby. Mikaela Carpino, Mary Elizabeth Difonzo, and Kianna Logan fired the hosts into a three-goal lead before Alicia Tamburro scored twice for Whitby, but it was not enough to stage a comeback as these teams finished ninth and fifth, respectively.

Chasing the summit

The gap at the top of the Men’s Premier has been reduced to three points after the weekend’s action with Scrosoppi moving to within striking distance of Woodbridge after a 3-1 win at Oakville. Nathaniel Susnik, Tomasz Skublak, and Orlendis Benitez Hernandez all struck to move their side onto 34 points.

Woodbridge had a major slip-up later in the day, going down 4-0 at Vaughan Azzurri. The home side were relentless in front of goal and had Ethan Beckford, Jacob Begley, Mathieu Laurent, and Chris Campoli to thank for finding the net. With a handful of matches remaining, including one between Scrosoppi and Woodbridge, the title race is heating up.

Saturday saw Sigma move onto 21 points after a 3-0 victory at Simcoe County Rovers. Lee Victor Massunda, Sefunmi Taiwo, and Dante Ruddock all found the net in an impressive road win.

Friday finished with Windsor City’s 3-1 home win against Waterloo United. The away team took the lead in the first half through Sam Barrowcliffe, but Seve Oglan, Brent Nanchoff, and Ottavio Liburdi turned the game on its head.

Saturday saw one match, with Pickering and North Mississauga tying 2-2 at Pickering Soccer Centre. Ayomide Abobare fired the hosts into the lead to make it 1-0 at half-time, but a Christian Krzyzanowski brace turned things around. John Moncada levelled the scores with 12 minutes remaining.
