Believe it or not, our home field at Trout Lake is open this weekend. We are playing Surrey tomorrow at home as the make up game from Nov. 7th. As per usual kick off for the seconds is at 1pm and the firsts at 2.30pm. We would like to have all players at the field by 12pm, as there is a lot of sticks and debris on the field that needs to be cleared off before we can play.
The field needs to be lined and marked for play tomorrow, work on this will start at about 11.15am, if you have time to help out it will be much appreciated.
After the game we will host at the Legion on Commercial & 6th.

There will be a game this weekend (Sat. December 5th) for both divisions against Surrey. The turnout to training last night was very poor (12 guys 3 of which were new). It has been a while since we last played but we need everyone out Wednesday night. If our field is closed this weekend we will be playing in Surrey and there field has been open for all of November and will be open Saturday. So get out and have a good session on Wednesday, knock off the rust and get ready to wrap up the first half with a big effort in both divisions. Games will be at the usual times of 1pm & 2.30pm.
See you at training on Wednesday at 6.30pm on the all weather field at Trout Lake.
For those who haven’t picked up their Scribes Shorts, they can get them from Marcus at training.
