Rebels finish 2nd in the WCSLA Playoffs...

The firepower and defence of Tri-Cities proved to be too much for the Rebels as Tri-Cities won the 3rd game of the series 12-6 to sweep the Rebels. Tri-Cities is the WCSLA Champion and will go on to represent the League in the President's Cup. While the Rebels are disappointed that they did not make it to the President's Cup, the organization as a whole is very happy with the improvement in the team and the franchise following the move from Surrey to Abbotsford. Nothing but good things are expected next year as the Rebels will look to pick up where they left off.

Rebels behind in series...
After losing the second game of the 5 game series vs. Tri-Cities last night, the Rebels are now playing catch-up on Friday when the 3rd game of the series will take place in PoCo at 8pm. While the Rebels played better in the second game, which was decided by the score of 10-5, the team still needs to step their play a notch or two in order to survive any further in the series.

2nd Game of the Final Series vs. Tri-Cities Tonight

August 8th, 2005
Rebels lose the first game of the series...
The Rebels lost the first game of the WCSLL Championship series vs. Tri-Cities tonight 9-3. It was a disappointing game for the Rebels as they had difficulty with the Tri-Cities offense, which is larger and faster than that of Langley, and they also failed to capitalize on Tri-Cities penalties as the Rebels power-play was not firing on all cylinders.
The second game of the series will take place Wednesday night at the Mission Leisure Center at 8pm.

Tri-Cities is coming from a 18-4 win over Vancouver and will no doubt be seeking to continue those winning ways against the Rebels.
