Not only did he get four goals but his play­ ing all night was nothing short of sensational. Moore scored the ty­ ing counter for the other goal on a smart play from Creech. The Hensall squad staged a '•blitz" to open the game, rapping home two goals in quick succession and netting a third before Exeter retaliated. Riley notched the first counter. Breaking from his own end .he worked his way to the lo­ cal cage and beat ‘Ford from close range. Wiggins made it 2-0, scor­ ing from a scramble in front of the net. MacLean delivered a nice pass to Nigh for the third tally. Nigh skating in on Ford as he took Mac- Lean’s pass, whipped a short shot between the goalie’s -pads. Beavers came to the rescue of the locals, scoring Exeter’s first goal. The puck was passed to him in front of the net and with Messenger out of position he sank the puck deep in the twine. Passmore rushed in on Ford to start the second 20-minute session. Ford fell to his knees to save sen­ sationally. Beavers scored the only goal of the period. Ryckman, tak­ ing the puck from his own blueline, set up a pass to Beavers at the de­ fence and Eugene gave Messenger no chance on his drive. Moore sift­ ed in on Messenger but was robbed of a goal by the Hensall twine-keep­ er.. The locals gained an advantage in manpower when Riley was chas­ ed by Referee O’Brien. Moore miss­ ed the net from a scramble in front of Messenger as the homesters stag­ ed a -power attack. ' Lutman just failed to push the puck behind Messenger early in the third. Ryckman had engineered the puck up the ice and crowded into the corner, he slipped a pass to the waiting Lutman, who was unable to get his Stick on the disc. Creech laid the setting for the tying tally. Breaking from his own zone, he laid a pass down to Moore in front of the Hensall cage and Moore fin­ ished the well-exectitetf play with a Shot that had Messengei’ beaten when it left his stick. Beavers struck twice in succession to get his third and fourth tally. He took the puck up alone and beat Mes­ senger to do the 6hat-trfck and pot­ ted a rebound to climax his four- goal splurge.

Gerry Paul was the Lucan "big gun", scoring four goals and leading his team­ mates in overpowering Crediton. He scored Lucan’s first counter from a play set up by his brother, Reg.# The latter slipped the pass to his brother at centre, who’ quickly head­ ed for the right boards and round­ ing Bawden he caught the far cor­ ner of the net. Lucan carried most of the play throughout the period but were limited to the one goal. Chowen took G. Paul’s pass at the blueline but his low shot was handl­ ed easily by Smith. R. Paul was robbed of a goal by Smith as he tore in on the Crediton hemp-guar­ dian after being set up on a play by his brother. Siddall had Crediton’s best chance of the period to score. Breaking away with nobody back he skated in on Howe but the Lucan goalie dived out to make a spectacu­ lar save on the play. Chowen bagged two goals early in the second to give the "Irish” a three-goal lead. Reg Paul started the play for his first tally, passing the puck to him at the blueline. Chowen’s drive from the left boards had Smith beaten all the way. The other goal was the result of a re­ bound after Smith had saved on a play by the Pauls. -G. Paul scored his second goal to make it 4-0. He tore in toward the net as Reg flipped out a pass from behind the net. Smith had no chance on the play. Watson got Lucan’s fourth tally of the big5 period, getting the puck from his check he manoeuvred to the front of the cage and slid a shot into the corner behind. Smith. The Paul brothers established a puck-chasing .partnership that end­ ed with Gerald’s third goal. It was a smart combination and Gerry finished the play by drawing Smith out and whipping the puck behind him. Lucan scored another goal in the third before Crediton responded) with a tally. R. Paul was the goal­ getter. He backhanded his broth­ er’s goalmouth pass into the rig­ ging to make it 7-0.
