Saxons Sunday Double.
It’s double the fun at Stanground College this Sunday
as the Peterborough Saxons Youth and Senior Teams face off against the visiting
Norwich Devils in a gridiron double header.
It’s the opening game of the season for the Seniors, their first in BAFL 1 and
expectations are high as the Saxons give debuts to several new signings and
find themselves spoilt for choice with some top level American talent arriving
at the club this off season.
Following pre-season victories in Leicester and Munich, Head Coach Charles
O’Neal is confident in his team’s ability to cut it in the big league,
meanwhile Offensive Co-ordinator Gary Van Zandt promises an explosive
performance from his new look unit. Similarly, new defensive play caller Sean Gray will be looking for a shutout
from his players on their competitive debut after conceding just 13 points in
exhibition games so far.
Also in action on Sunday are the under 19’s who will be looking to bounce back
from a narrow defeat in their season opener. Two missed scoring opportunities
were enough to put the game beyond reach, but there were promising signs for
the young guns that they can get their season back on track with a victory over
their opponents this weekend.
Games get underway at 12:00 with the Senior team kicking off at 2:30. Admission
is free and refreshments are available throughout, to find out more visit
