(Denny Scott photo) Novice reps end year Ridgetown bests girls At the Mississauga Novice Reps Year-end Spring Tournament, The Blyth Novice Rep Bulldogs experienced a semi-final shootout loss to the first-ranked team from Port Credit. They played to prove that small town teams can take on the big city teams. Blyth started off with an 8-0 win over Applewood on April 9 and then followed it up with a tough loss to a strong team from Cooksville, by a score of 2-0. On April 10, they took on the team from Port Credit, where a less than productive second period left Blyth with a 4-0 loss. Even with a record of one win and two losses, Blyth qualified to move onto the semi-finals on Sunday morning. Blyth took on Port Credit again on Sunday morning. After 30 minutes of scoreless end-to-end hockey, a scoreless five-minute overtime, led to a shootout. After the first round each team had scored once. Early in the second round Port Credit got the go-ahead goal to entered the finals. The Blyth-Brussels Bantam Girls did very well at provincials, getting as far as the quarterfinals. In the first game the girls played against the Twin Centre Hurricanes from Wellesley. The team had some exhibiton games against them, so they knew what to expect. The girls worked hard, coming out with a 3-1 win. On Saturday the girls were guaranteed two games. The first game was against the Russell Coyotes. It was also an exciting game with Heidi Raynard earning a hattrick. All the girls played well which resulted in a 4-2. The girls were pumped and the parents were nervous wrecks. The next game was going to be a tough one, but the girls were in the quarterfinals whether they won or not. The team hoped for a win, but the Chatsworth team was very strong. The game ended in a 1-0 loss for Blyth. Next the team was in the quarterfinal game against a strong team from Ridgetown. The girls battled hard, but couldn't pull off the win, losing 2-1.
