The Sun have won back to back games coming off the Labour Day bye over the last two seasons, both at the Apple Bowl.

Since the BCFC created the Labour Day bye weekend in 2009, the Sun are 4-3 and have outscored their opponents 201-112.

Following this year’s bye weekend the Sun (6-0) face the Westshore Rebels (5-1) in a first place showdown on Saturday night in Victoria at Westhills Stadium.  The only set back the Rebels have had this season was in Week 3 at the Apple Bowl when the Sun beat them 27-21.

These two teams have met once after a bye week and the Rebels came into Kelowna and handed the Sun a 27-24 loss.  That night, the Sun turned the ball over five times
