History tells us if the Sun like the Labour Day bye

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.
