Semi-professional football has arrived in Genesee County.
The Lyndonville Tigers are now playing their home games in Pembroke.
The team is comprised of players from throughout Genesee and Orleans counties and plays in an eight-team league that stretches from Jamestown to Troy.
Team President Taylor McCabe said over the past seven seasons, the Northeast Football Alliance league has consistently produced "action packed and extremely competitive football."
The Tigers, who finished last season in third place at 8-4, opened the season Saturday, taking a 20-13 loss against Finger Lakes.
Here's the schedule for the remainder of the season:
