KINGSTON, Ont. – The Queen's Gaels will host the McGill Redmen in a non-conference football game on Sunday, August 26. The match at Richardson Stadium is scheduled for a 1 p.m. kickoff.
 
The game will be a renewal of one of the Gaels' oldest football rivalries, dating back to 1898, with Queen's holding a 93-71-5 edge in the all-time series. This will be the third non-conference matchup between the squads since the Gaels joined the OUA football conference in 2001. Queen's swept the previous two matchups: a 39-20 home win in 2007, and a 32-13 win at Molson Stadium in 2008. The 2007 game was the last preseason contest held at Richardson Stadium.
 
The Gaels' last preseason action came in 2009, a 33-6 win over the Varsity Blues in Toronto.
 
Queen's returns 20 starters from last year's squad that went 6-2 and advanced to the OUA semi-final, where they fell to the eventual Vanier Cup champions, McMaster.
