Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuullllllllliiiiii!
League is a go, Thursday and Sunday's at the infamous Adanac Park. The league will have 5 teams in it this year and look to grow after getting off the ground again. Zenga is spot on, teams will be wearing official kit from Serie A teams (ie. Juventus, Roma, AC Milan) and the final will be on Italian Day at the Italian Center in June. 18 player roster with 3-4 imports on every team.
Slight correction. Thursday night games are at Clinton Park, Sunday doubleheaders at Adanac. The rest is correct.
There is a remote chance of a 6th team before it gets started. The league will start on Mothers day, will not play the Sunday of Victoria Day weekend unless absolutely necessary, and will have the final at Beaconsfield on the Sunday of Italian Week (June 21).
More info to follow.
I guess if there is any money involved weavers will coach again,3 years no championships,that league was good but in my opinion will be a ghost town again...too bad,actually if you started an over 30 league with 2 under & 3 imports the league will not be full of gang bangers who say they are from EAST VAN but live in north burnaby,all the kids nowadays are all about white boots & Hair gel
will the legend ARNIE MEERS be involved for the 25 year

Regs, I see you have never experienced a Sunday afternoon at the Croatian Picnic Grounds watching the Croatian Summer League.... A lot of beverages and great food with some 7 v 7 Soccer.... Season 8 is right around the corner.....
Thanks, much of the credit must go to the current ICSF president, Sam Pantusa, who has worked very hard getting this off the ground. The individuals committed to running the teams must also be commended.
It should be a lot of fun.
For Regs, I am not sure how the tree works with the summer alignment of the field crossways across the two winter fields, but you are welcome to it!

Can we setup shop at the TTP Tree or does Friuli still have dibs on it?
Stay away from the Friulli Tree old Reggy, it doesn't want any former Abruzzo players around, it may fall over.
Good on ya getting the league going, it at one time, was one of the best leagues around, with some fantastic players playing in it, and some not so good.
