[Scratching the Pitch @PitchScratching]

It's a final! @EvvLegendsFC win the @ovplsoccer 9-8 over @OPSOCCER1 in PKs.

If you love to watch good soccer, you gotta get out and support your local OVPL side next season.

[Scratching the Pitch @PitchScratching]

It's going to PKs in @ovplsoccer championship!

[Scratching the Pitch @PitchScratching]

Heading to second OT period knotted at 0-0 in @ovplsoccer championship.

[Scratching the Pitch @PitchScratching]

End of regulation in @ovplsoccer championship. Looking at two OT periods to find out who lifts Sportiff Cup.

@OPSOCCER1 0-0 @EvvLegendsFC

[Scratching the Pitch @PitchScratching]

Some quality soccer on display at @ovplsoccer championship. You're missing out.

HT: @OPSOCCER1 0-0 @EvvLegendsFC

[Scratching the Pitch @PitchScratching]

Excited for @ovplsoccer championship match. 530 kickoff at XU's Corcoran Field.

[Scratching the Pitch @PitchScratching]

@Danagardens @ovplsoccer Seems like yours is the only logical spot for a drink after the OVPL championship!

[Scratching the Pitch @PitchScratching]

We'll be on hand to cover @ovplsoccer summer championship tomorrow. Corcoran Field at Xavier University at 530.

[Kings Hammer FC @kingshammerfc]

FULLTIME | A great season comes to an end. Kings Hammer FC fall in their first-ever postseason trip in their inaugural #Path2Pro season. Thank you for the support in 2021. #KHFC

[Cleveland Ambassadors @CLE_Ambassadors]

Ohio Valley Conference Champions 2021 🏆

[Scratching the Pitch @PitchScratching]

I'd be sorely mistaken to omit @SoccerCLE and @NISALeague from my list of soccer to see next summer. I'm hoping to be better organized with the calendar a year from now.

[Scratching the Pitch @PitchScratching]

I really, really need to get out to some @NOSLsoccer matches in 2022. If the games are half as fun as interactions on social media, then I'm in for a treat.

[Scratching the Pitch @PitchScratching]

I also enjoyed the @USLLeagueTwo season here in OH, despite some obvious disappointments. It's great to have @toledovillafc and @kingshammerfc in the fray.

[Scratching the Pitch @PitchScratching]

Watched a lot of good soccer in @WPSL Midwestern Conference this season. Not really a lot that separates the top 5 teams.

Need to make it a point to see more Ohio Valley Conference next season. Those @CLE_Ambassadors teams appear to be quite something.

[Massive Report @MassiveReport]

The @columbuseagles dropped their final game of the WPSL season to the Dayton Dutch Lions. https://t.co/Iy316RUjTF
