St Joes and Sexsmith clash in MPFL action Friday

Oct 4, 2019 | 10:24 AM

An old rivalry will once again be renewed at CKC Field this afternoon.

The St Joe’s Celtics and Sexsmith Sabres will meet at 5:00 today in a battle of top five teams in their respective divisions. The Celtics come in as the number two team in Tier II. The Sabres enter as the fourth-ranked team in Tier IV.

It’s a game that promises to be another exciting one at CKC Field for the second straight week. The Celtics and Comp Warriors played a tightly contested game last Friday in which the Celtics were able to come away with a 28-14 win. St Joe’s scored the go-ahead touchdown with under two minutes to go in the game.

Meanwhile, the Sabres are coming off a convincing 46-0 win over the Peace Wapiti Titans last Thursday that moved them to 3-1 on the season.

The Titans kicked off this week’s Mighty Peace Football League schedule yesterday with a victory in High Prairie over the Renegades, 25-14. The Titans were down at halftime 14-13 but scored two touchdowns in the second half to claim the win.
