It鈥檚 the midway point of the season for the Okanagan Sun and the need for wins has never been higher.
Sporting a 2-3 record so far this BCFC season, the Sun are looking to get back in the win column with an away game against the Kamloops Broncos this weekend.
With only five games remaining in the season, every battle going forward will impact the Sun鈥檚 bid to make the playoffs, Sun head coach Boreham acknowledged.
鈥淭his week is must-win time,鈥� said Boreham.
鈥淲e know that when we play our best football, we can win against any team in this league.
鈥淗opefully this is a good weekend for the offence and they can find some fire in themselves.鈥�
The Sun dropped a tight 14-10 loss last Sunday to the Langley Rams 鈥� the No. 2 ranked team in the country.
Okanagan鈥檚 defence came away with four turnovers, but the Sun offence was unable to put needed points on the board.
Although a close loss to the undefeated Rams is encouraging, Boreham said it鈥檚 still not enough.
鈥淚t鈥檚 too early in the season for the silver linings,鈥� he said.
鈥淪ure, you can take the positives, but we need the results and we need them now.
鈥淚t was a good football game between two good teams, but at the end of the day, they put the ball in the end zone when they needed to most.鈥�

Only two home games remain for the Sun this season as playoffs are expected to near the end of October.
Sun fans were out if full force for the highly-anticipated rematch with the Rams last Sunday 鈥� the first time the two teams have met since the Rams knocked the Sun out of the playoffs last season with a resounding 39-7 win.
The Sun, however, were focused only on the game on the field and not the pre-game hype.
鈥淥nce we start football, it鈥檚 all about the game,鈥� said Boreham.
鈥淲e鈥檙e not worried about the stuff outside the lines, we鈥檙e playing football. (The Langley) game was a good game, and we鈥檙e going to be better for it.
鈥滲ut Kamloops is on our mind now, and we have got to go take care of business if we want to make a playoff push.鈥�
The Sun play the Broncos on Sunday and then return to the Apple Bowl on Sept. 22 to host the Valley Huskers.
