On Saturday, defending CPL Champs Cavalry FC travel to the Wanderers Grounds in Halifax, looking to continue their dominant record against the Halifax Wanderers.
The undefeated Halifax club, however, who are off to their best start in club history, will be desperate to defend their home ground -- as they have done many times before.
It's the Halifax Wanderers and Cavalry FC this weekend on TSN 5, as well as OneSoccer, kicking off at 6:30 p.m. AT / 5:30 p.m. ET / 3:30 p.m. MT.
