At long last, the Kamloops Broncos will play on home turf.

The Broncos — 0-5 and in the B.C. Football Conference basement — were forced to play their first five games of the campaign on the road due to renovations taking place at Hillside Stadium.

Win No. 1 will not come easy on Saturday, with the Okanagan Sun of Kelowna coming to town for a 6 p.m. start at Hillside.

Okanagan is 4-1 this year and has never lost to Kamloops since the Broncos joined the BCFC in 2007.

The Westshore Rebels (6-0) of Langford sit atop league standings, with four more points than both the Sun and Valley Huskers (4-2) of Chilliwack.

In third place are the Langley Rams (3-2), who are two points ahead of the Prince George Kodiaks (2-3) and six points clear of both the Broncos and Vancouver Island Raiders (0-6) of Nanaimo.
