The Langley Rams played their first home game of the season under bright sunny skies as the fellas welcomed the Westshore Rebels on Saturday.

The first quarter ended with a 3-all tie and the Rebels up one point but the Rams came charging back. The third quarter ended with 16-10 for Langley. With just over six and a half minutes left in the final quarter, the Rebels moved ahead to make it 19-16. The score didn’t budge after that.

Mattias Bueno’s three field goals and one single and Joseph Carter, with a touchdown, scored for the Rams Saturday afternoon.

The Rams hit the road for games Aug. 11 and 18 before their next home game on Aug. 25 when the Okanagan Sun visit.
