Simsbury Sports Digest for Sept. 23, 2011

Something's gotta give ... Simsbury and Conard are both 1-0 after week one. The two football teams took very different roads in posting wins in their season openers. The Trojans knocked off Newington 14-7 in a close contest as Brendan Conway came off the bench to spell injured starting quarterback Steven Steijn. The Chieftains meanwhile walloped South Windsor 49-7. It will be a 7 p.m. kick-off tonight at as the Trojans play host to Conard.

While many people will be in the stands for football, just across the parking lot in the the Simsbury High gymnasium, the volleyball team looks to stay perfect as they host Hartford Public, for a 5:30 p.m. start. The Trojans are 4-0 after wins against Hall on Monday (3-0) and New Britain on Wednesday (3-1.) The game they lost to New Britain was the first Simsbury has lost all year.

In other sports, both Simsbury varsity soccer teams battle New Britain at 3:45 p.m. The boys are at home, while the girls are on the road.

Field hockey is home also at 3:45 p.m. for Windsor.

Tomorrow begins four straight days of championship golf at . First the Simsbury amateur will be played Saturday and Sunday. Then Monday and Tuesday some of the best seniors in the state will take on the Geoffrey Cornish design in the Connecticut Sate Golf Association's Senior Open.
