Game one success for the Airdrie Irish!

The men's football club opened the season in the Alberta Football League yesterday (May 26) with a win in Grande Prairie.

The Irish handed the Drillers a 14 - 9 setback.

That sets the stage for next Saturday's home opener at Genesis Field in Airdrie when the Irish will entertain the Calgary Wolfpack,

President and GM Matt Squires says the two teams have some history.

"When the Airdrie Irish started a lot of the guys that started with the team had come from the Calgary Wolfpack so there is a little bit of a rivalry there."

Kickoff is at 1:00 pm.
