All VMFL games listed will take place on Sunday, October 28.
Midget: Coquitlam Falcons vs North Delta Longhorns
With the top four spots in the Midget division getting a first-round bye in the playoffs, the intensity builds for those teams in the logjam from second to eighth place where only one game separates those seven teams.
The Coquitlam Falcons are 5-3 and tied for seventh but in reality they have not lost a game on the field this season as all three of their losses came from forfeits due to roster error. The Falcons are on a tear shutting out their last two opponents and seeking a top-four finish.
For the Longhorns, it has been an up and down season. However, they too have blanked their last two opponents and now look to extend their win streak to three games. A win this weekend and North Delta has a good chance of grabbing a top-four spot with a little help around the league.
With Meadow Ridge playing North Surrey and White Rock hosting Victoria this weekend, the final standings in the Midget division are still anyone’s guess.
Game time is 1:45 pm at John Oliver Park in North Delta.
Junior Bantam: Coquitlam Raiders vs South Delta Rams
Coquitlam teams are currently dominating the Junior Bantam division with both the Raiders and Vikings coming into action this week with identical 8-0 records. With this weekend being the last of the regular season in this division, both the Vikings and Raiders hope to emerge still perfect at the conclusion of the week.
For the Raiders, however, their last road game of the season will not be an easy one as they travel across the river to South Delta where the Rams (7-1) hope to bring their ‘A’ game and finish the season with a pivotal win over the Raiders.
The Rams started the year with six straight wins shutting out all their opponents before suffering a close loss at the hands of the undefeated Vikings. A win this Sunday by the Rams and they would capture second place and two rounds of home field games. They could even have a long shot at earning first place overall with some help.
The Raiders will look to keep the division an all-Coquitlam affair but the road goes through South Delta this Sunday.
Game time is 12:30 pm at Dennison Park in South Delta.
