Football Weekend in Saskatchewan a huge success for the CFL, CJFL, U Sports
The province’s top five football teams all hit the field for the inaugural Football Weekend in Saskatchewan as the CFL, CJFL and U Sports all took part in the event.
The Saskatchewan Roughriders kicked things off Friday night, when they welcomed nearly 27,000 fans to the stands. And while the Riders lost 26-24 to the Edmonton Elks, the Friday night lights were just the start to the weekend. More than 2,000 fans were present for the Thunder’s 23-7 victory over their provincial rivals for the second time in two weeks. Regina Thunder head coach Scott MacAulay said it was great weekend for players and fans from Saskatchewan.“I think it’s outstanding. A lot of these guys are from smaller towns within the province and coming together and competing together on the main stage is great,” MacAulay said.
