Sunday 20^th April 2008 sees the return of American Football to Cambridgeshire, and the schedulers could not have chosen a better game than the Cambs derby, as the Cambridgeshire Cats host the Peterborough Saxons in the first British American Football League Division 2 fixture of the 2008 season.

The teams have met on 5 previous occasions, with the Cats undefeated up until a narrow 6-0 defeat last year in torrential conditions in Peterborough. Both teams will be keen to stamp their authority in the newly formed BAFL 2 East, as both are tipped for title honours having shared identical 7-3 records in their respective conferences in 2007. Both teams faced long journeys in the play offs last season, Saxons to Dundee and the Cats to South Wales, with neither team able to return to England victorious. What will separate these neighbours in 2008? Find out this Sunday, 20 April, at 14:30 on Cats Field, Coldhams Common Cambridge.
