Dolly’s Season Outlook

The 2010 version of the Red Bombers take to the field on Saturday, August 28 at Chapman Field.  We look forward to a large number of players returning for year 2 as well as 20 or more new players from all over the province’s high school programs.  Having recreational football on campus has given many students a different option for school.

The league is bigger by two teams and both Holland College and the Dalhousie Tigers are keen to make their presence felt immediately.  Last year’s league was extremely well matched and we look forward to the same exciting play which could see each and every game be up for grabs.

Our intention is to cross train many of our players to develop the kind of depth in our team that we lacked last year once injuries set in.  Players will learn a position on both sides of the ball to help in this regard.  Additionally we hope to begin to develop the skills and techniques of our younger players so that we can build towards the future.

We hope that alumni in the area are able to make it out to the games and drop by the bench to say “hi” and meet some of the players.  Repeating last year’s accomplishments will be very difficult but it certainly is our goal, as a team and a coaching staff!
