The spotlight falls on Panthers Sports in Week Two of Showtime Bowl Series XIII, as the surprise pacesetters look to defend their place at the summit following a sensational opening weekend.
After dismantling Lekki Braves 67–12 and soaring to the top of the standings, the Panthers now carry the weight of expectation into their 6:20 pm showdown with Greenbacks Flag Football.
For the Greenbacks, it’s a chance at redemption; for the Panthers, it’s about proving their rise is no fluke.
But the Panthers are not the only story.
Five fixtures at the Showtime Arena, Elegushi, promise drama, intensity, and possibly more shocks to reshape the early-season narrative.
The action begins at 2:20 pm with the defending champions Warriors Flag Football taking on the bruised Lekki Braves.
The Warriors opened their title defense with a commanding victory over the Raptors, while the Braves are desperate to bounce back after last week’s humiliation against the Panthers.
For them, it’s not just about points, it’s about pride and survival.
At 3:40 pm the Mainland Long Horns face the in-form Lagos Athletic Knights, who swept aside the Rebels with ruthless efficiency last weekend.
The Knights are being tipped as serious contenders, but the Long Horns are hungry for a statement win to flip the script.
The 5 pm clash between Lagos Rebels and Lagos Raptors has all the makings of a grudge match.
Both sides suffered defeat in Week One and now face an early-season crossroads.
Another loss here could spark a downward spiral that may be difficult to reverse.
Closing the night, Ikan Sports and Lagos Alpha go head-to-head.
Both edged out narrow victories last weekend, and with confidence soaring, this matchup could deliver the tightest finish of the evening.
From the Panthers’ unexpected dominance to the Warriors’ quest to defend their crown, Week Two of Showtime Bowl Series XIII is set to be nothing short of electric.
