Elecs Football Team Host Peacock in Home Opener

It has been almost a year since the ECS Elecs Football has played a football game in Estevan, and the team is hoping they will give the fans of Estevan something to cheer about this afternoon when they host the Peacock Tornadoes at 4:00.

The Elecs return to home turf after splitting their opening two games of the season, something that Elecs Head Coach Marco Ricci is happy with.

Today's game will have a big impact on the standings as both the Elecs and Tornadoes are tied for second place in the league with 1-1 records. Today's game is the only matchup between the two teams in the regular season, so whoever wins the game will hold the tiebreaker in the event of a tiebreaker.

On defence Ricci feels the unit just has to eliminate the big play, something Ricci feels they have done a good job for the most part this season. The Elecs will be focusing on a Tornado offence that will be looking to spread the ground game both on the ground and through the air.

On offence, Ricci says the Elecs will need a strong game from his offensive line. He thinks if the Elecs can establish a strong game on the ground, they will be able to wear down the Tornado defence.

Opening kickoff for the game is 4:00 and admission is free.
