BCFC play-off picture

With the final weekend of the 2024 regular season approaching there is still a lot to be decided in terms of play-off positions. 

We know the Okanagan Sun (10-0) have clinched first place and will enjoy a bye weekend and wait to see what club they will host in one of two semi-finals taking place September 12.  At the other end of the spectrum the  Kamloops Broncos (1-8) host the PG Kodiaks (2-7) as both clubs look to avoid finishing the season in the BCFC cellar. 

In the remaining games the VI Raiders (3-6) will finish either 5th or 6th and  host the play-off bound Valley Huskers (5-4). While Raiders won’t be in the postseason, the club’s upset over its island rival Rebels this past Saturday night may well serve to affect the play-off positioning. There will be everything but a play-off type atmosphere when the Langley Rams (6-3) host the Westshore Rebels (5-4) in a game between two teams that both will move on to the postseason. A Rams win clinches 2nd place and a home play-off game while  Rebels win might or might not do the same for them.
