City midfielder Aaron Franco, who was crucial in City’s last two league wins, said the Boys in Rouge will look to keep their winning ways alive this weekend in order to move up in the standings.
“I think it’s only the beginning,” Franco said. “It’s well within reach to win this. I’m going to make sure I bring it everyday and I’m going to push my teammates everyday.”
Le Rouge are 2-1-2 and are third in the division with eight points. A win and three points would lift them only four points out of second place and playoff positioning.
