MTFL - MISSISSAUGA TOUCH FOOTBALL LEAGUE

MTFL Divisional Championships begin TONIGHT!

We have three Division Championships on tap this week with two beginning tonight.
Monday, August 25th
7:00 @ Valleys - Razorbacks vs. Axemen
The Axemen returned to the league after a one year hiatus and their playoff experience has led them back to the big game. The Razorbacks are making a rare appearance in the final after many years of coming close. These two squared off only once this season with the Razorbacks winning 26-21. The Axemen took a while to get the groove back on as this game was early on in the season and they are separated by only one point in the standings. Look for a very well played game between these two teams.

8:30 @ Valleys - New World Order vs. Greatest Show on Turf
Both of these teams are making their first appearance in a Division Championship. Greatest Show on Turf has had a huge turnaround from last season having gone 1-9 last season to 8-1-1 this season. New World Order is a fairly new squad with some former MTFL players looking to take on the task of winning the Division. This could be a lopsided affair since Greatest Show on Turf won both meetings this season. New World Order may surprised as they have stepped it up in the playoffs.

Tuesday, August 26th
7:00 @ Valleys - Trailer Park Boyz vs. Meadowvale's Finest
This is the second straight Division Championship appearance for Meadowvale's Finest, albeit last year's was in the 'D' Division. This crew has made a fine transition to the 'C' Division and getting here proves it. Their opponent are the Trailer Park Boyz who are making their first Division Championship appearance. In the first two seasons, the Trailer Park Boyz had first round exits and this year they knocked out the top seeded Reapers to prevent a 'D' Division Championship rematch.

** GAME RESCHEDULING **
All Team Captains,

Please visit either the league schedule or your division page to see the revised schedule.
There have been quite a lot of changes the past few weeks, due to the no lights at the Valleys, the lightning and especially with the cancellations of last week's games at the Valleys Monday through Wednesday.
Print off the latest revised copy of the Division Schedule.

** EMERGENCY NOTICE **
Attention all teams playing at the Valleys tonight (Monday, July 28). The field was severely damaged and is unsafe to play after the OVFL Mississauga Warriors game this weekend. Please notice that the games have been re-scheduled as follows.

Jul-28 @ 7:15
Reggae Boyz vs. Steelers
(now being played at Applewood)

Jul-28 @ 8:45
Ghosts vs. Reapers
(postponed until next week)

Please note that because of the second game tonight being cancelled, we have to move one game to accomodate the re-scheduling.

Aug-05 @ 7:15
Greatest Show on Turf vs. Wrecked
(now being played at Applewood)

Aug-05 @ 7:15
Ghosts vs. Reapers
(Valleys)

The first game at the Valleys between Greatest Show on Turf was moved to accomodate the Reapers having to play back-to-back games on the same night. Rather than having them move from one field to play one game to play the next. The Reapers can now play one game after another at the same field.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us via e-mail.

‘TOUCHING’ MOMENT FOR MEADOVALE'S FINEST
Once again, the Mississauga News was back at it again reporting on the MTFL. This week they covered the game between Meadowvale's Finest and Steelers. Meadowvale's Finest won the game 13-7.
Check out the story.

2008 MTFL PLAYOFF SCHEDULE
Just a reminder to all teams, please check your division's playoff schedule as it has already been posted. This year, all teams within a division will play on the same day to make the transition from the regular season to the playoffs, a smooth one.
By having all teams in a division play on the same day, it eliminates the guesswork and finding out last minute when you'll play because it is no longer is dependant on the final standings. Teams are now informed well in advance when they play their playoff games.
Check to see which day your division is scheduled to play.
