Sudbury Spartans fans rejoice — you can get double the football fun this coming weekend when both the JV and men’s Spartans teams suit up at home July 9 at James Jerome Field.
The Sudbury Junior Spartans host their final game of the 2022 season against the Clarington Knights for a 4 p.m. kickoff, while the Spartans men host their final home game of the season against the North Bay Bulldogs at 7 p.m. that evening.
During this game the Spartans will present former players Bruce Vaillancourt and JP Pigeon as their 2022 Hall of Fame inductees.
“The Junior Spartans will be looking to set the tone for the playoffs this weekend after clinching the North Division title last Saturday,” the team said in a news release.
On July 2, the JV team scored 16 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to best the Quinte Skyhawks 23-9. Not only did this clinch the division title, it was the team’s sixth straight win.
“As for the men's team, they will be looking to remain undefeated in 2022, having won their first four games of the season.”
That fourth game, held June 25, was a doozy. While the Spartan defence kept the Sarnia Imperials off the scoreboard entirely, Sudbury’s offence stampeded to 41 unanswered points.
Tickets are available at the gate for $10. Kids 12 and under get in free.
The JV Spartans game will be sponsored by Anmar Mechanical and the men's game will be sponsored by Shoeless Joe’s Sports Grill.
After this weekend, the Spartan men travel to Sault Ste. Marie for a July 23 game against the Steelers.
