WEEK 19: Gunners Clinch Playoff and Majors Spot

CAPITAL DISTRICT 4 GATEWAY UNITED 1 - The Gunners may have just sealed the deal on winning the 2011 Honors Trophy. It's not official yet, but it is real close. In the mean time the club will have to settle with clinching a playoff spot and a Majors Cup spot. That is right if you look at the Majors Cup Group standings the Gunners are currently in Group A at the moment along with the Galaxy (who are #1 in the MLS candidates) and Toronto (#4 for MLS candidates as of 7/23) The win over the Saints started off with Richards score being taken away with a red card. But with the game tied 1-1, new addition Jeferson broke it open and Saborio added some insurance for the Gunners. SECOND CITY 3 ALLIANCE 2 - The Stars moved up into 3rd place in the BSL standings after handing the Lions a 2nd straight loss. Koevermans had the game winning goal. The results almost ends the Lions chance at the playoffs and the club is barely handing on to its Majors Cup 4th place position. Second City meanwhile is 1 win or 1 Burud Town loss away from clinching a playoff spot. UNION SC 3 PENNSYLVANIA 1 - The Stoners also suffered a devasting loss which will make it difficult to reach the playoffs. While not officially eliminated, the Stoners might have to focus on Majors Cup qualifiers for the remainder of the season. The Blues are playing the role of spoiler very well and are making the club win-loss record respectable again. GOLD COAST 6 HILLCREST UNITED 0 - The Suns took care of business and mowed down the Rainbows. The BSL playoffs seem almost certain needing only 1 more point to clinch, but are on the outside in 5th place currently in Majors Cup qualifiers. BURUD TOWN 6 PN RANGERS 0 - The Stags are the thorn in the top 4's side right now. The club is the last real bonified challenger to change the league's current top 4. Burud Town has very little room for error and almost certainly needs to win its last 2 games of the season.
