The Premier Monthly Report: May

London, Ontario – Wednesday, May 31 signaled the end of month one of the 2017 WOSL season. As the premier table begins to take a very early form, one cannot forget that there is still plenty of soccer still to be played and the winds of change will undoubtedly skew the initial statistics.

A quick and fruitful start by both Jagiellonia and Marconi A has catapulted both sides to a sturdy first and second position, respectively. Places three through eight have had their early season exchanges by a collaboration of teams such as; AEK Olympians, Chatham Express, Croatia A, Wallaceburg A, St. Thomas A, and Tillsonburg A. The bottom of the table sees English FC A and the new outfit, America Pumas. The English have only played one match, while the Pumas are hoping to find their stride during a high-octane and always busy month of June.

A grand total of 13 matches were played over the month of May. Below are some key statistics from month one in the WOSL premier division.
