Its a Vipers matinee as the team travels to Port Alberni to take on the struggling Bulldogs. Other than the showcase, this is the first afternoon game of the season and could be exactly what the doctor ordered for a Vipers team who played poorly a night before. The Bulldogs may only have one win on the season, but they play tough and Vernon cannot take this team lightly.
Lets see how they stack up
