The Blyth U14 Howson Hurricane
Girls took on Bayfield on May 13,
but were unable to overcome their
adversaries, playing to a 4-4 draw.
Blyth struck early with a goal
from Mackenzie Nesbitt, assisted by
Megan Hoggart, but Bayfield would
rally back and end the half ahead
2-1.
Blyth came out to the second half
swinging, with Nesbitt getting her
second goal, assisted by Holly
Howson.
Hoggart followed with her own
marker, and, after two Bayfield
goals, Nesbitt would complete her
hat trick to bring the score to its final
4-4.
Earlier in the season, the U14 girls
took on Clinton II on May 6, beating
them with a score of 5-4.
Clinton scored the first goal from
a corner kick. Blyth returned fire,
with Hoggart tying the score off an
assist by Melissa Van Schaik.
Clinton stormed back, scoring two
unanswered goals, but Blyth pulled
together to have Leanne Plunkett
and Nesbitt assisting on Hoggart’s
second goal.
To start the second, Charlene
Schramm relieved Blyth goaltender
Marion Studhalter and the change lit
a fire under the Blyth team.
The girls scored back to back
goals, the second for Van Schaik,
and a third for Hoggart, making for
her second hat trick of the season.
Clinton continued to tie up the
game, responding to the first two
goals and then tying Mackenzie
Nesbitt’s late-game goal, scored by
Holly Howson to end the match
5-5.
After the final whistle, however,
the referee called one Clinton goal
back due to offside, giving the win
to Blyth.

The Wingham Golf and Country
Club had most of the league play
rained out but the golf gods arrived
in time for a very successful
weekend.
The Tuesday night ladies opening
golf and supper was limited to only
a supper and an inside putting
contest and the participation was
fantastic. Forty-one gals came out
and enjoyed a chicken and rice
buffet with all the fixings. Pat
Mathers was the lucky winner of
the door prize and Mary Houghton
putted her way to victory in the
fun, but challenging contest. Cheryl
and Julie welcomed Amber back
in the kitchen and she did a great
job.
The Wednesday morning seniors
had only 12 golfers out on a cold
and drizzly day. Jamie Sanderson
was the low net with Ray Walker
placing second and Bill Brown,
third. Harry George shot a 40 for
the low gross and Ray and Bill tied
for second.
Thursday the club witnessed an
all-day rain cancelling the men’s
night. Friday couples night had
about 20 golfers getting geared
up for the first fun “Happy Face”
scramble to be held Friday,
May 28.
Sunday, May 16 the club held its
spring barbecue. Around 600
hungry golfers and guest enjoyed a
delicious ham and beef barbecue. It
was great to see the golf course
busy and all the smiling faces.
Mary Houghton the barbecue chair
and all her volunteers did a
fantastic job running and
organizing this very successful day.
Thanks to all the volunteers.
