All games are at the Lakeside Pitch.

City rivals, Nelson Innkeepers and Kootenay Co-op have the early lead in the Men’s Open League after one week of play.

In the Men’s Over 35, Real Nelson leads the six-team league with a 2-0 record.

Bia Boro and Ted Allen’s Jewellery sit tied for second at 1-0-1 with Red Dog third with three points.

Jackson’s Hole, first half winner, and Club Inter are winless in two starts.
