As the Swift Current Comprehensive Colts Football team get ready to enter the postseason, the organization is happy to be able to host a home game this year.

Tomorrow Estevan is in town for a 1 p.m. kickoff.

After going a long stretch without hosting any until 2014, the now-five-game stretch of having home-field advantage to start playoffs is a welcome change for Derek Murdoch, coach of the Colts, as well as the team themselves.

Murdoch went on to say that the excitement might transfer into intensity come gameday.

"With a playoff game the intensity is so much different than a regular season football game, but everybody's a little bit extra amped up when we're playing at home as opposed to getting on a bus and rolling down the road."

Murdoch said that he attributes not having a playoff game in the past in Swift Current to not being a contender, but says they seem to have found a solution.

"As a football team or program I guess, our team went through a spell where it was tough to be competitive, we didn't always have a lot of numbers, and we've worked really hard at working with the minors, the minor football in Swift Current, to produce some football players that when they get to the Comp they're ready to kind of jump into our system and be successful."

Murdoch went on to say that he credits a lot of their success to players having past football experience.

Speaking further on his view of players with more experience, Murdoch said it was good for the players to know if they want to pursue football as well.

"You get an opportunity to introduce kids at a young age to the game, and they work on a lot of fundamental stuff and just making sure that they are having fun and enjoying it so that by the time they get to us then they get to figure out at high school if that's something they want to stick with, so we're getting some pretty sophisticated football players in Grade 10 because some of them have played for six years."
