Tight at the top but undefeated Croatia SC out in front in VMSL Premier (with video highlights)

Between vacation, work, and commentating at UBC and at the Canada Soccer U17 Nationals in Surrey this week, we’ve not had a lot of time to get our usual comprehensive Vancouver Metro Soccer League (VMSL) Premier Division round-ups done these past two weeks.

It’s been a fortnight with a lot of results bringing the teams much closer together, tightening things up at the top, and leaving Croatia SC out in front as not only the only team with a 100% record but also as the only unbeaten side now in the division.

Normal service should be restored next week, but for now, here’s a brief recap of what’s gone down in VMSL Premier action in Weeks 3 and 4.
