The People's Pitch

City correspondent Kyle Eliason breaks down the weekend's action in Golden Valley.

In another week where the three teams each achieved a different result, we think there is evidence on the horizon that things are about to start clicking across the organization.

This week our three teams ended up with three different results but there are signs that more consistency is on the horizon.

Just like that, the season is underway! Matchweek 1 is behind us and we've got team-by-team analysis across the UPSL, NPSL and USL 2 results.
