The Jacksonville Jaguars will host the San Francisco 49ers at London's historic Wembley Stadium on Sunday, Oct. 27, 2013, the NFL announced Thursday.

The game, which will kick off at 5:00 p.m. UK time (1:00 p.m. ET), will mark the first in London for theJaguars, who earlier this year committed to play one regular-season home game in the United Kingdom in 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016, all at Wembley.

"By committing to play a regular-season home game in London in each of the next four years, the Jaguars will play a major role in helping grow our sport in the UK and beyond," said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. "We thinkJaguars-49ers is a matchup our fans will really enjoy and a great way to start a new era in the international development of our game."

 

Jaguars Owner Shad Khan confirmed the Jaguars' 2013 International Series opponent while speaking at the Leaders in Sport conference at Chelsea FC.

"Everyone associated with the Jacksonville Jaguars is very much looking forward to our four home games in London through 2016, and we're particularly thrilled and honored that our first opponent will be the San Francisco 49ers," Khan said. "This is a unique and important opportunity for the Jaguarsfranchise, as well as for our fans and community. To share this stage in our first year at Wembley with a rising power like the 49ers will bring additional attention and respect to what we're trying to achieve as a franchise. We can't wait to see our global vision for the Jaguars become reality next season."

San Francisco will make its second appearance in the International Series. The 49ers hosted theDenver Broncos at Wembley Stadium in 2010, earning a 24-16 victory before a crowd of 83,941.

Tebow Traded to NY Jets

Quarterback Tim Tebow has been traded to the New York Jets from the Denver Broncos for a fourth-round draft pick, FOXSports.com reported Wednesday.

Fresh off signing prized free agent Peyton Manning to a five-year deal on Tuesday, Denver sought to part ways with the unconventional signal caller who led the Broncos on an improbable run to the AFC West title and a playoff victory last season.

Tebow -- who reportedly sought a return to Florida, where he won the Heisman Trophy as the quarterback of the Florida Gators -- was seen as a viable option in New York due to new Jets offensive coordinator Tony Sparano's interest in utilizing Wildcat formations that mesh with Tebow's skill sets.

The trade gives New York coach Rex Ryan a fourth quarterback option behind Mark Sanchez, Drew Stanton and Greg McElroy. Sanchez, meanwhile, recently received a three-year contract extension.

Exhibition Game Slated for 2nd Annual Irish Heritage Day on July 7th 

Ramapo, N.Y. - The Irish National Baseball Team has reached an agreement with the Rockland Boulders and the Ramapo Local Development Corporation to train at Provident Bank Park from July 1 to July 8, 2012. As part of their training, the Irish National Baseball Team will play an exhibition game against the Fire Department of New York's (FDNY) baseball team on Saturday, July 7 at 3:30 p.m. The game is a part of the second Annual Irish Heritage Day at the ballpark and will be followed by the Boulders hosting the Quebec Capitales at 7 p.m. 

"The Irish National Baseball Team trains in America every two years," said head coach Sean Mitchell. "In 2010, we traveled to the Boston area, but with the beautiful new facility in Ramapo built right near a large Irish population in New York City and Pearl River, we jumped on the opportunity to come to Provident Bank Park."

Suffern to Play Undefeated West Genesee in State Semi Final Matchup

Suffern's Willie Sanchez goes to work.

A convincing win over ETB, a nailbiter over Monroe Woodbury and next weekend it just gets more difficult as the Mounties travel to Utica to take on undefeated West Genesee.  

The State Division 1 semi-final game takes place on Saturday March 19th at 10:00am in Utica, NY.  The winner of this game will take on the winner of the Saratoga-Pittsford semi-final contest scheduled for 12:30pm on the same day.  The State Championship game is scheduled for 12:30pm on March 11th.

The Wildcats are the most formidable opponent that Suffern has faced this year.

The Wildcats have seven seniors on their roster and according to scouting reports; they are quick to capitalize on the slightest error.

Suffern of course already knows this as they lost 3-2 to West Genesee at the Wildcat Classic on December 3.

Their defense wears down opponents and they have enough offensive weapons to finish them off.  Most games this season saw the Wildcats limit the number of shots their goaltenders have had to face.

The two biggest players on the team are the goaltenders, with senior goaltender Max Barone weighing in at 270 pounds while sophomore net minder Jacob Pelton is 6’5”.  Looking down the bench, West Genesee has plenty of size with six players 6 feet or taller.

The keys for the Mounties:  Speed, transition, goaltending and patience.   Scoring opportunities may be limited; the Mounties only took twelve shots on goal when they last faced the Wildcats so Suffern has to play their game and make the most of the opportunities that they are presented with.  The fact that Suffern had already seen West Genesee and is one of only four teams to have scored more than one goal against the Wildcats this season could play a factor.  Adler, Redgate and Willie Sanchez will also be key.  Sanchez has a way of getting under the skin of opposing teams, taking them off their game and is skilled at drawing penalties.  Redgate's speed and Adler's puck handling skills could tip the game in Suffern's favor.  On defense, Suffern has gotten excellent goaltending throughout the season from Tyler Stark and Nick Modica and there are very few holes as the Mounties excel at blocking shots and clogging the shooting and passing lanes.

Suffern, a team built for speed and finesse has shown that they can play a hard-hitting, physical game.  If they can come out hard and show West Genesee that they won’t be pushed around, it could be the best contest of the year.
