It’s the battle of Toronto as the Varsity Blues face the York Lions on the gridiron, vying for their fourth consecutive Argo Cup in the 42nd annual Red & Blue Bowl this Saturday, September 10 at York Stadium.

Kick-off is scheduled for 1 p.m. Live streaming will be available through www.ssncanada.ca.

Since their first meeting in 1970, the Varsity Blues hold the upper hand with a 25-16-0 head-to-head record over the York Lions. U of T has won the past three Argo Cups, while previous to that, York squeaked out a 21-20 in 2007 to cap a 13-game winning streak in the series.

Both teams look for their first win of 2011 after the Blues dropped a 38-5 decision to the Windsor Lancers and York fell 46-7 to the Laurier Golden Hawks in their respective season openers.

“This is going to be a great game and we’re excited to get back on the field,” said Varsity Blues head coach Greg Gary. “Expectations are high, the tempo is up and we’re doing everything we can to prepare ourselves for a tough battle on Saturday.”
