Bears and Bulldogs are both undefeated this season, Bears coach Jason Williams noted.

鈥淲e鈥檙e the only teams who didn鈥檛 play each other,鈥� Williams told the 91原创 Advance Times.

鈥淲e鈥檙e very similar teams,鈥� Williams observed.

鈥淲e can both move the ball well, and have good defences. It should be a great game.鈥�

When the season got underway, Kodiaks coach Chad Henderson said this year鈥檚 team is even better than the powerhouse that dominated last season 鈥� when the Kodiaks went all the way to the championship final without a loss.

In last year鈥檚 BCCFA event, the Kodiaks midget football team won the championships for the second year in a row, defeating Victoria Spartans 17-7 at Percy Perry Stadium in Coquitlam in frigid conditions.

The same day, the North 91原创 Bears won the bantam provincial championship, beating North Surrey 7-6.

NFLA president Ken Sieben said the 91原创 teams tend to dominate because the player have been together through several seasons 鈥� some starting as young as five.

鈥淚t鈥檚 a pretty strong bond, on and off the field,鈥� Sieben said.

Sieben is hoping local fans turn out for the games.

鈥淚鈥檇 love to see as many people as possible come out to support our local teams.鈥�

Admission on game day is $10. Volunteers get in free.

NLFA is a community football association that offers players aged five to 18 the opportunity to learn the sport of Canadian-rules football.

It鈥檚 part of the Valley Community Football League (VCFL) which consists of teams from Abbotsford, Chilliwack, North 91原创, Maple Ridge and Mission.
