Local Football. Riders Football. NFL Football. Football Football Football!!!

It was a busy day of football action for Estevan football yesterday, the ECS Elecs were defeated by the Vanier Vikings 46-0.

The Vikings are now the only undefeated team in the league as well the Swift Current Colts are the only winless team after week 2.

The Elecs will have their home opener on Friday against A.E. Peacock at 4:00.

In Penta Completions Estevan Minor Football action, the LaFrentz Trucking Bantam Steelers were defeated by the Regina Renegades 27-7 and the Century 21 Peewee Chargers were beaten by the Regina Unicorns 23-12.

Today's football action is highlighted by the Banjo Bowl with the Saskatchewan Roughriders and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. After last week's Labor Day, will the Riders be able to keep the momentum heading into a hostile Bomber crowd? Andy Fantuz returns to the lineup today and even though the Riders are on the road, I'm sure the Rider faithful in Winnipeg will go nuts when he hauls in his first reception today.

If you're in the Estevan and looking for a place to watch the game, come out to the Collage Festival's tailgating party at the Curling Rink. I will be MCing the party and promise I won't be too hard on the Bombers..(ya right)
