As far as trips to Weyburn go, the Penta Completions Estevan Minor Football teams were probably thinking it could have gone better.
The Estevan Lions Club bantam Oilers lost 25-0 to the Weyburn Falcons Saturday, while the Century 21 peewee Chargers lost 31-0 to the Weyburn Eagles.
“We had some injuries through the game that affected the pace and the flow of the game for us,” said Oilers head coach Paul Duncan. “(Our team) played a bit tentative and through the game our guys were concerned about their size and numbers.”
The Oilers have had some injuries pile up through the season in the first few games. Because of that, they've had to plug in players at some different positions.
“I think we've fared pretty well to get players where they need to be,” Duncan said.
The bantam A hockey tryouts also affected the team's personnel, and with that out of the way some of the players will be able to commit to football at a higher level, Duncan said.
The Chargers' next game is Friday at the Moose Jaw Razorbacks, while the Power Dodge Bantam Cudas play at Weyburn Saturday and the ECS Elecs also play at Weyburn.
