Not only did the Eagles earn their first point against CAV's this season in the 0-0 draw, the city turned out in droves to support the match and set a new Apple Bowl attendance record of 6,281.
West is Best: HFX will visit Willoughby Park for the second and final time in 2024 after previously falling 2-0 to VFC in the club's second match of the year. That match marked a three-game winning streak at home against Halifax which is the longest of its kind in franchise history. The Eagles have the most all-time points against HFX with 10 and are tied with Pacific for most all-time wins against another club with three.
