The Lions opened their regular-season campaign with a comprehensive 24-0 win against the Bison on Friday night. The victory was decisive from the opening drive, with the home side controlling both phases of the game.
Nothing suggests a tight contest in the final tally. The Lions scored at will while the Bison defence offered little resistance throughout the ninety minutes. And here's the thing—the margin tells you everything about how this game played out.
The Bison could not find any rhythm against a Lions side that looked comfortable in every department. There were no late comebacks or dramatic moments to salvage pride. The result was settled well before the final whistle.
For the Lions, this is the kind of performance that sets a standard. They showed they can impose themselves on opponents and finish matches decisively. To be fair, one game proves nothing, but the manner of this victory was impressive.
The Bison will need to regroup quickly. A scoreline of 24-0 is difficult to live with, and the questions will be many. They must find answers before their next fixture.
