The dust has settled on the Westshore Rebels’ heart-pounding semifinal triumph over the Vancouver Island Raiders and the club is now preparing to host the Cullen Cup for the first time in team history.

The Okanagan Sun will be the Rebels’ opponents this Saturday at Westhills Stadium (Oct. 29, 4 p.m. kickoff) in Langford. The defending B.C. Football Conference champions downed the Langley Rams in overtime on Oct. 23 to punch their ticket to a third straight title game.

Rebels head coach J.C. Boice was pleased with how his team handled adversity down the stretch against the Raiders, with Westshore rallying for the game winning touchdown drive following a late onside kick recovery by the visiting Raiders.
