Only 2 games were originally scheduled for this weekend however a third game, UQAM at Laval, was added after the Rouge et Or had to postpone the original game two weeks ago due to the outbreak of flu across the country.

On Friday, Concordia (2-2) visits Bishop's (0-3) and, even though it remains early in the schedule, this is a close to a "must-win" situation for Bishop's as can be. A loss to the Stingers would put the Gaiters in a big hole that, although not insurmountable, would require a huge second half to re-enter the playoff picture in the "Q". Bishop's was in the game all night last weekend against undefeated Laval before a late 12-2 allowed les Rouge et Or to escape Lennoxville with a victory. Bishop's has always been one of the top draws in the "Q" and expect the fans in Lennoxville to support Bishop's quest for their first league win of the season.

On Saturday night, the Gaiters travel in to Montreal to face UQAM (1-0), playing only their second game of the QSSF regular season. UQAM then has a quick turnaround, travelling up the highway on Sunday for an afternoon affair at Laval (3-0), which could be a meeting of undefeated teams depending upon how the Citadins do at home against Bishop's.

There will be one more league game in 2009 in the "Q" on Saturday, December 5th (next weekend) as Concordia visits UQAM.
