The Martensville Maddogs football teams started off the season at the beginning of September with some changes.
This Kinsmen Football League (KFL) is a minor tackle football league and has two age groups for both males and females, however the names of these groups have changed.
Formerly known as Peewee, this age group for Grade 6 & 7 players is now known as the Hilltops, while the Bantam age group for Grade 8 & 9 players is now called the Huskies. The Hilltops league is Canadian 9-aside football rules (new in 2017), and the Huskies league is Canadian 12-aside football rules.
The first home game for these two teams didn’t turn out as they hoped and both teams suffered a loss on Saturday, September 7th.
The Maddog Huskies defeated the Arn Falcons on Saturday, September 14th by a score of 39-28, and the Hilltops were defeated by the Ledingham Steelers, 34-12.
All games are played at the Maddogs football field as well as the Saskatoon Minor Football Field (SMF) in Saskatoon.
They will be hosting their next game which will be celebrating ‘Maddogs Football Community Day’ on September 21st with the Hilltops playing Prince Albert starting at 11am and the Huskies playing against Clavet at 1pm. There will be a mini carnival throughout the day, concession, raffle and silent auction, 50/50 draws, entertainment from Hawk’s Nest Studios, and former Maddogs and Royals coming to cheer on the teams so be sure to come out and cheer on your Maddog Football Team!
