Following Middle Township High School’s football game at Cumberland on Thursday, there will be no other regular-season fall sports action for Cape May County schools until next week.

But that doesn’t mean there won’t be plenty of games to see.

Maxwell Field in Wildwood will be a busy place this weekend, as numerous Philadelphia area high school football and soccer teams use the facility for games. Ocean City’s Carey Stadium will also host a football game for teams from out of the area.

There will be three football games at Maxwell Field’s Warrior Stadium this weekend, two of them on Friday. At 4 p.m., Conwell-Egan of the Philadelphia Catholic League will take on Salem, followed by Roman Catholic of the PCL against Malvern Prep of the Inter-Ac League at 7 p.m. Then on Saturday at 1 p.m., the PCL’s Neumann-Goretti will host the Avalon School (Md.).

Five soccer games are scheduled for Maxwell Field’s Kaitlin Anzelone Memorial Field over the Labor Day weekend. On Friday, Conwell-Egan will face Malvern Prep at 3 p.m., followed by Roman Catholic against Camden Catholic at 5 p.m. A girls game will be played Saturday, with John W. Hallahan of the PCL playing New Foundations Charter of the Philadelphia Public League at 2 p.m. Sunday’s soccer action sees Conwell-Egan taking on Camden Academy Charter at 3 p.m., followed by Roman Catholic against Malvern Prep at 5 p.m.

There are separate admission charges to each of the three football games. Admission to the soccer games is free.

Ocean City’s Carey Stadium will host a Philadelphia-area football game Saturday at 10 a.m. when Penn Charter of the Inter-Ac faces Lansdale Catholic of the PCL.
