Unless I’ve missed something I don’t believe we’ve heard anything official yet, but how’s the rumour mill so far? Anyone heard anything about any new clubs joining OPL3 next year? Hopefully we’ll get at least 1 or 2.

What a consequential week in the OPL coming up. With the relegation and relegation playoff spots fully settled, OPL2 has it all coming down to the final weekend. Currently, Windsor City FC are in the driver's seat sitting in first. Windsor and Master's FA have a massive showdown in Windsor on Sunday. A classic awaits, with the top scoring vs the top defensive teams facing off. A win by either team wins the league. A tie and Windsor will win its first trophy since they were the Windsor Stars in 2005. Master's haven't won a trophy since 2019.

Now, here's where it gets extra interesting. Cambridge United and Waterloo United each have a chance to grab that 2nd spot and earn the promotion playoff opportunity up in the Big Nickel. Basically, if Master's FA beat Windsor City, and Cambridge United win their match with Hamilton United, they will move into a tie with Windsor and pip them based on the first tiebreaker (wins). In Windsor City win and Cambridge also win, Cambridge would pass Master's FA in points and claim the playoff spot. Hamilton are in the midst of a relegation battle and have everything to play for.

Waterloo still has a shot at the playoff spot if Cambridge lose or tie and they win against Inter Toronto II and Master's FA lose or tie. So many permutations.

To add to the mix, Master's FA have earned a shot at the OPL Cup and will be playing Woodbridge Strikers this Thursday. This is great for the league overall. Competitive games at the end of the year is perfect for creating excitement and engagement. For Windsor in particular, with dreams of a CPL franchise in the works, this is huge.

I think I got these permutations down, but so many possibilities.

"Just simply put, it was another bad day at BMO Field for AFC Toronto."
