The week following the Labour Day bye hasn’t been kind to the Sun in recent years.
The Sun haven’t won a game following the bye since 2011 when they beat the Chilliwack Huskers 42-7.
Since the BCFC created the Labour Day bye weekend in 2009, the Sun are 2-3, but have outscored their opponents 142-95.
Following this year’s bye weekend the Sun (4-1) will host the Langley Rams (4-1) at the Apple Bowl on Saturday night at 7:00pm. The Sun have not played the Rams immediately after the bye weekend.
Since 2009, the game results following the Labour Day bye are:
2013 - @ Vancouver Island Raiders – 45-17 LOSS
2012 – vs. Victoria Rebels – 27-24 LOSS
2011 – vs. Chilliwack Huskers – 42-7 WIN
2010 – vs. Chilliwack Huskers – 48-0 WIN
2009 - @ Vancouver Island Raiders – 16-11 LOSS
The Sun are on a three game winning streak and will look to avenge a 33-20 loss in Langley in Week 2. The Rams are coming off a blowout win over Kamloops on Sunday, 70-24 and are in a first place tie with the Sun.
Ryan Watters (@ryan2tswatters) will have the play by play on Saturday night starting with the Kick-Off Show at 6:30pm.
