The Airdrie Raiders will break out their whip and chair as they try to tame the Cochrane Lions in the Calgary Bantam Football Association today (September 1).

Airdrie takes a 0 - 1 record into the game following last weekend's 54 - 22 loss to the Mavericks in their league opener.  The scored flattered the Mavs as the Raiders were within one score until injuries to the Raiders allowed the Mavericks to score on three successive drives to end the third quarter and put the game away.

The Lions won their first game of the year when they blanked the Hilltoppers 19 - 0 last weekend.

Kickoff for the game is at 11:00 am at Calgary's Hellard Field.
