The Westshore Rebels are having their most successful season on the field in some time, but off the field the junior football club is still struggling to keep its head above water.

According to team president Doug Kobayashi, the team needs to raise about $24,000 in the next three weeks to play out the rest of the season, which includes one regular season game, two potential playoff games and the possibility of hosting the Canadian Bowl junior football championship. It’s the B.C. Football Conference’s turn to host the national event, meaning the winner of the Cullen Cup gets home field advantage against the champion of the Prairie Football Conference.
