While the Sarnia Flag Football Association regular
season does not start until September 11, the SFFA
hosted an exhibition game against a team from
Chatham on Sunday August 28.
Chatham
does have a flag league, though the style of game is
different in that the SFFA is a contact, no
equipment league. As such, Chatham first had to
learn the game before taking to the field to take on
the SFFA in an exhibition game.
The game
started slow, and while the SFFA scored early,
Chatham's speed started to become a challenge for
the SFFA. At half, the score was 12-6 for the SFFA.
As Chatham gained momentum and with a handful of
interceptions later, Chatham took the lead late in
the third quarter and never looked back defeating
the shocked SFFA on their home field by a score of
32 - 16.
As the
SFFA 2011 season schedule has already been
developed, this game against Chatham is the first of
many. Plans are already in the works to host an
inter-city tournament as well as other exhibition
games.
The Sarnia
Flag Football Association would also like to remind
players that the league does not host an open
workout on the Labour Day weekend. Also, the SFFA
season starts with 3 exhibition games on September
11 with the 2 games at 11:00 and 1 at 1:00. For more
