WITH ANOTHER VICTORY in one of the games of the round, the Toronto Eagles have secured second spot on the OAFL ladder.
This weekend the Eagles battle the Toronto Rebels at Humber North, in what should be a very entertaining match.
The Eagles have been sizzling over the past three weeks, hitting form with finals just around the corner. Strong running and impressive play around the ground have become habitual for the Eagles, who will be looking to make a statement this weekend.
The Rebels have had an interesting 2009 season, blooding some new talent and ringing in a new era for the club with a new kit.
With only two wins to their name, this has defiantly been a poor year for the Rebels. They will be looking to finish the season on a positive note, hopefully with a victory in their next two outings.
This should be an entertaining game of football, so head to Humber North early and get set for some great football action.
