Saskatchewan Rush squashes Georgia Swarm in pre-season game
Rush earn 24-9 win
It was a successful return to form for the Saskatchewan Rush in a pre-season game against the Georgia Swarm.
The Rush finished off the Georgia Swarm 24-9 on Saturday night in the rematch (of sorts).
The Rush worked quickly to get back at the team who took them down, scoring seven goals in the opening quarter.
Mark Matthews scored four goals and Ryan Keenan, Curtis Knight, Marty Dinsdale and Robert Church all added hat tricks.
The Rush will continue their training camp before getting the 2018 regular season underway on Dec. 16 in Toronto, facing the Rock.
"I think we accomplished what we wanted to," said Rush GM and head coach Derek Keenan, also in a statement. "All the young guys were really good.
"We've got a month to prepare for Toronto and hopefully we'll be ready."
The Rush will return to Saskatchewan for their home-opener on December 23rd against the New England Black Wolves.
