Perhaps not the ideal week for this venerable favorite to make its reappearance, what with Cup play starting and all, but there are a few makeup games scheduled that have serious standings implications and are therefore noteworthy.
Aldergrove United host Tsawwassen Royals (2A): While this match will not affect the promotion situation, it does come between two teams that are 3rd and 4th in the table, and had a close match the first time out. Essentially, they are playing for third in the table, with Tsawwassen holding a game at hand and a 5 point deficit to Alder. This game is on the always-outstanding (insert rolling of the eyes here) Parkside West pitch, so that alone makes this interesting. MOTW?
Poco City United host Columbia Bearcats (2B): Now here is an interesting situation. With all the matches that are to be made up in 2B, the Bearcats sitting third in the table could conceivably catch Alder at the top of the table. So too, could Poco, though they have one less game at hand on Alder than Columbia. Quite the scenario shaping up in this table, and with so much at stake I expect this match to be strongly contested by both squads. MOTW?
N. Coquitlam Hades host DFC Celtic (2C): The only match scheduled in this table this week, and for the Celtic it is a chance to move one step closer to promotion eligibility. A win here would leave only one more win from two final matches to ensure the top spot in the table over DMU. Plenty at stake here against an always-game Hades squad. MOTW?
