Showtime Bowl Series XIII Unveils Fiery Week Two Showdown
By Saheed Afolabi
The stage is set for Week Two of Showtime Bowl Series XIII, and if last weekend’s surprises were any indication, the drama is only just beginning.
Fans are bracing for five explosive fixtures at the Showtime Arena, Elegushi, where reputations will be tested and early-season dreams either kept alive or shattered.
The day kicks off with fireworks at 14:20, as the defending champions Warriors Flag Football lock horns with the Lekki Braves.
The Warriors roared back into title defense mode with a commanding win over the Raptors in Week One, while the Braves are still reeling from a crushing 67–12 defeat to Panthers Sports. For the Braves, it’s more than a game—it’s about survival, pride, and proving they belong.
At 15:40, the Mainland Long Horns face the surging Lagos Athletic Knights, who dismantled the Rebels last week with ruthless efficiency. The Knights are being whispered about as serious contenders, but the Long Horns—still finding their rhythm—are eager to spring an upset that could flip the table yet again.
The 17:00 clash between the Lagos Rebels and the Lagos Raptors is shaping up to be a grudge match. Both sides tasted bitter defeat in Week One and now stare at an early-season crossroads. Whoever loses here risks slipping into a downward spiral that may be hard to escape.
By 18:20, all eyes will be on the Panthers Sports—the story of Week One. After their sensational eight-place climb to the summit, the Panthers now carry the weight of expectation into their battle with Greenbacks Flag Football. For the Greenbacks, it’s a shot at redemption; for the Panthers, it’s about proving their rise was no fluke.
Closing the night, Ikan Sports and Lagos Alpha square off in a clash of equals. Both edged out narrow victories last weekend, and with confidence running high, this battle could deliver the night’s tightest finish.
From the champions defending their crown to underdogs clawing for respect and a new leader trying to hold on to the throne, Week Two promises to be nothing short of electric. Showtime isn’t just a league anymore—it’s the heart of Lagos flag football.
