The Rob Hitchcock ‘Beat the Pros’ touch football tournament will come to a conclusion on Friday night.  Before the game, the two remaining teams will compete in the finals of the tournament for the opportunity to face Rob Hitchcock and his ‘Pros’ team comprised of Ticats alumni.  The first half of the game will be played on Brian Timmis field adjacent to the TigerTown Fan Zone while the second half of the game will be played on the field at Ivor Wynne at halftime.
