With just over a month left in most spring league seasons, the race for NPL titles is currently heating up as many squads have played roughly half of their matches. For some, it’s do or die territory to stay involved, while others will be looking to extend their lead and potentially move towards lifting the trophy.

Here are your NPL games of the week:

U19 Boys NPL 1

Spurs FC 1 – EC Revolution FC 0

Saturday, 4/22 2:00 p.m. @ Tom Bates Regional Sports Complex – South Turf Field

In the U19 Boys NPL 1, Spurs FC and EC Revolution FC have both separated themselves from the rest of the pack to move into first and second place, respectively.
