The defending champion Connecticut Wolves are gone, and PDL champ Cape Cod is not participating (nor are the Worcester Kings), but there WILL be a New England Cup this season, contested among four teams: Western Mass and New Hampshire of the PSL and Vermont and Rhode Island of the PDL. Each team will play each other team home and away. League games between Western Mass and NH and between Vermont and Rhode Island will double as New England Cup games. In one case, there is a game between Vt and RI which will count in the league, the New England Cup AND as a US Open Cup qualifier! Anyway, I'll be attempting to track the competition this season at: http://www.geocities.com/sfarmer_62/nec03.htm
