A pack of excited football players jetted south last weekend to show off their skills to a CFL-sized crowd at BC Stadium.
The pee wee Cariboo Bombers joined their counterparts from P.G. and Vanderhoof to take on a team from the Cowichan Valley in a scrimmage during the half time for the B.C. Lions/Montreal Alouettes.
The Bombers were allowed onto the field during warm up to get autographs and chat with the professionals.
While the pee wees were scrimmaging on the big field, the atoms were winning their second game against Prince George.
The atoms took charge of the game, winning it handily, at 13-0.
