Rebels, Raiders to tangle July 29 in Nanaimo
The Westshore Rebels are busy circling dates on their 2023 calendar. The game that sticks out early is the Island derby that will open the B.C. Football Conference season in Nanaimo against the Vancouver Island Raiders on July 29.
The Rebels answer with a Grey Cup champion of their own as Dexter Janke becomes the new head coach of the club after having played in two Grey Cup games with the Calgary Stampeders and hoisting the Cup in 2019 with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Janke is replacing Shane Beatty, who is moving back to the Interior.Also circled, no doubt, for the Rebels is the first meeting at Starlight Stadium against the defending BCFC and Canadian Bowl champion Okanagan Sun on Aug. 26.
“And we’re building on what we started last year, when we were very young, especially on offence. We have almost our entire offence returning and we’ve done a great job in recruiting on defence. We feel we will be right there when it’s all said and done.”
