Another tough game for the Vipers this afternoon. Not only did the team get blown out last night, but had to travel home from Trail to play an afternoon game today vs one of the leagues top teams, the Brooks Bandits. If you look at the standings and both teams records, this should be an easy win for the Bandits but both teams come into this afternoon struggling. The Vipers have one win in there last six games, three wins in there last ten games, three wins in there last fourteen games and six wins in there last twenty games. The Bandits come into today's game, are coming off a 6-1 loss last night in Penticton and playing there third game in three days. The Bandits have lost three of there last five games and lost six of there last ten games.

Go Vipers Go!
