OMFL Week 9 – Bantams vs Ti-Cats

The Bantam Bulldogs are headed to Hamilton bright and early Saturday morning.  We need our players to be at the bus by 6:30 am as the bus will be leaving at 7 am sharp.  The address for the game if  is 200 Acadia Drive, Hamilton or St. Jean de Brébeuf Catholic Secondary School.  Gate fees are $5,  kids 12 and under free.

Field Notes: The TI-Cats have bleacher seating.  There will be plenty of room to park at the high school itself.  Please note, there are no bathrooms they have Port-a-potties only.  It is turf field so no Gatorade allowed on the field. – water only.  They will be hosting a BBQ on site if you wish.

The Junior Varsity team earned a Bye week to get ready for the Outlaws on July 24

If you can not make the game this weekend please let me know asap so we can make adjustments.  If you are meeting us at the field in Hamilton and not taking the bus please let me know and please be at the field by 11 am as it’s a 1 o’clock kickoff.  As well if you can let me know if you are not coming back on the bus that would be great.  So far I have Miigwans and Brandon not coming back on the bus.

The Bus will have the boxed breakfasts again but please make sure your players have liquids and snacks as well to top them up.

On the way back we will be doing a very quick stop and our North Bay Eta is between 8:30 and 9 pm.

This is the last regular season game then we head in to playoffs.  By the looks of things we will be headed to Clarington (near Oshawa) July 30th or 31st.  “When” we win there we will head to Etobicoke on Sunday August 7th for the finals.  If by chance we do not end up with the “W” our season will come to an end. So July  23 and 24th we will have off.

Year end banquet will be August 13th.  So save the date.  More info of times etc… to follow.

The bus will be leaving Rolly Fisher in behind the gardens at 7:15 am.  We ask you be at the bus at 6:45 am so if we can we will get away early.  Please check your bag to ensure you have all your items in order to play.  If any adjustments need to be made, ensure you talk to the coaches Friday night.

We will have the boxed breakfast for the kids for on the way.  It will be an egg type wrap, fruit and granola bar.  They are again expected to have any snacks they want or any drinks for on the ride down.  As Orangeville is closer we will have time to stop at an en route on the way back this time so please send them with money for this meal.  Its tough to say how much they will need as it depends on their appetite. ($10-$20)  Our estimated time to return will be around 7pm.
