LENNOXVILLE - The Bishop’s Gaiters will host their Purple and White intra-squad scrimmage tomorrow, August 22, restarting a tradition that had been dormant for several years. The scrimmage is set to start at 2:30 p.m. at Coulter Field. 

The game will cap the first week of the Gaiters’ 2008 training camp. Approximately 100 student-athletes have descended on the Lennoxville campus this week for the Gaiters’ annual training sessions. That number includes 57 returning players (18 starters) from last year’s squad which posted a 3-5 record and finished fifth in the QUFL.

"I am very excited about the team we have put together," said Gaiters' Head Coach Leroy Blugh. "We feel that we have a good mix of older and younger players."

After Saturday's scrimmage, the Gaiters will return to the rigors of training camp, with two-a-day practices resuming on Monday. The Gaiters’ first regular-season game is set for Friday, September 4 at 7 p.m. at the Sherbrooke Vert & Or.
