    free jacks take on utah warriors

    Sat June 16, 2024

    Utah Warriors climb down from the mountains and head east to take on the Free Jacks at Veterans Memorial Stadium on June 16th. 

    The Battle of the Brothers 2024 sees Bailey Wilson of the Warriors take on his big brother Mitch Wilson of the Free Jacks at Veterans Memorial Stadium. In 2023 the Free Jacks flew west and took on the Warriors in the mountain altitude. After a hard fought game, the Warriors defeated the Free Jacks and will be carrying the confidence of the win with them to Quincy. 

    Free Jacks fans can welcome Spencer Jones and Keiran McCleay back to Veterans Memorial who both signed for Utah at the start of the season. 

    In 2023 Utah just missed the playoffs even with Joe Mano as the league’s joint top try scorer. After such a successful season not resulting in a place in the playoffs, Utah feels like they have something extra to prove. Likely to be one of the Free Jacks toughest challenges of the year, Utah brings explosive play and big hits. Be sure to catch this physical, tough test live from Veterans Memorial Stadium.
