The weatherman again played a
big part at the Wingham Golf and
Curling Club last weekend. The
great thing about the course is that
there is a superb draining system
so most of the rainfall disappears
quickly.
Tuesday’s ladies’ and senior
men’s morning were almost
entirely washed out. Only a few of
the diehard lady golfers came out
in the late afternoon to get their
round in.
On Wednesday, the club hosted
the Women’s Shelter Tournament.
The 70 ladies enjoyed nine holes of
golf before getting together in the
club house for lunch and
refreshments. Tournament
organizer Marilyn VanderWoulde
did a great job for this very worthy
cause and everyone had a very
good day.
Thursday started off rainy again,
but cleared up just in time for
men’s night. The 51 golfers had
just a terrific night for playing golf
and some of the guys took
advantage of the scoring
conditions. John Dailleboust took
low gross honours with a sizzling
36. Other winners were closest
to the pin, Dan McPherson and
Doug Neil; longest putt, John
Nicholson and Don Edgar and
hidden scores, Mark Foxton, Joe
O’Rourke and Lloyd Erb. This
Thursday, even though it is a
holiday, there will still be men’s
night and again the weatherman is
calling for a great night.
On Friday the Wingham Golf
and Curling Club held a fun
scramble. It was sure great to see
the course and patio busy on a
Friday night for couple’s day. This
Friday, July 2 is golf and wing
night at the club.
The Wingham Golf and Curling
Club’s junior clinic starts Monday,
July 5 and runs until Friday, daily 9
a.m. to 1 p.m. Trevor and Ed report
the clinic is full and they are
looking forward to working with
the children all next week.
OUT OF BOUNDS NEWS
The tournaments at the clubs
have began and we ask anyone
who is interested in holding a
tournament or a fun day to
book your tee times as soon as
possible.

Running hard
It was a close play at first base, but the Brussels runner
made it in and took his place at first after the close call. It
was Pre-Mite baseball action in Brussels with Blyth visiting
their crosstown rivals. (Vicky Bremner photo)
Both Brussels U10 soccer teams
faced off recently, but both teams
proved to be equal, fighting to a 1-1
draw.
Goals were scored by Hudson
Smith (Brussels II) and Ronan Jared
(Brussels I).
The Brussels U12 team travelled
to Bayfield, but were unable to
topple their opponent, losing 3-2 to
the Bluewater team.
Both Brussels goals were scored
by Kieran Jared.
The Brussels U14 girls had three
games last week, beating Goderich
by a score of 3-1, and fighting to 2-2
draws against both Bayfield and St.
Columban.
Brussels U10 I and
II fight to 1-1 draw
Outlaws triumph over Wallaceburg,
Centre Wellington, lose to Mimico
It has been a busy couple of weeks
for the Outlaws, a team composed of
players from many Mid-Western
Ontario communities including
Brussels, Wingham, Hanover,
Atwood, Goderich, Mildmay,
Gorrie, Lucknow, and Palmerston.
In Arthur on Sunday, June 6, the
Outlaws squared off with a short
bench of only eight players and a
goalie, against the Wallaceburg
Griffins. Despite an unfortunate
penalty at the start of the game, the
Outlaws outpaced, outshot and
outplayed the Griffins. The Outlaws
won by a score of 7-1 with two goals
each for Brady MacDonald and
Avery McArthur and a goal for Ryan
Buchanan, Morgan Grummet Nairn
and Jacob Mattingly.
The second game of the
tournament pitted the Outlaws
against a strong team with a full
bench of players, the Mimico
Mountaineers. Despite three rapid
shots on the Mountaineer goal in the
first minute of play, the two teams
ran a tight game, matching goals and
keeping the game fast-paced and
close. The score at the end of the
first period found the Outlaws down
by a score of 2-0. The Outlaws came
out strong in the second period from
the face off with two good shots
from defenceman Grummet Nairn
and centreman Colton Atkins. The
Outlaws continued to battle and
Grummet Nairn found the
Mountaineers’ net along with a
speedy breakaway goal from Avery
McArthur. A clean open-field hit on
the Mountaineer goalkeeper by
Colton Atkins seemed to have
stimulated the tired North Perth
team. This tied the game at two until
Jacob Mattingly came off the bench
and scored, which saw the Outlaws
with a 3-2 lead. Unfortunately with
seconds left in the second period the
Mountaineers tied up the game.
Third period was a continuous
battle with strong offence, defence
and some excellent saves by Shane
Westecott in goal. The Outlaws
finished the game strong but were
defeated by a score of 6-3.
Wednesday, June 9 saw the
Outlaws back to League play at
home in Wingham hosting the
Centre Wellington III team. The
disappointing loss in Arthur was
certainly not in the young players’
heads as they rained down over 20
shots on the unfortunate Centre
Wellington goalie just within the first
period. However, it seemed the
visitors had learned from their
previous home defeat by the
Outlaws, and although the Centre
Wellington side were outshot and
outplayed the score was only 1-0
in favour of the host team at the end
of the first period. The goal, a
power-play marker was scored by
Brady MacDonald.
The second period saw Centre
Wellington start to win more
possessions and a power-play goal
evened the score. This stimulated the
Outlaws, adding two goals to their
tally – one from Mattingly and one
from Avery MacDonald to close the
second period with a lead of 3-1.
With less than a minute gone in the
third, unrelenting pressure from the
Outlaws resulted in a marker for
Nathan Ahrens.
The visitor’s hopes were quickly
dashed with two North Perth goals,
one coming from Mattingly courtesy
of a beautiful run and feed from
Avery MacDonald, the other from
Nathan Ahrens.
With two goals in the last two
minutes, one a reward for the tireless
effort of the free-running Colton
Atkins and one for the speedy Avery
MacDonald, the home victory was
sealed by a score of 8-3.
On the run
It was a tough night for the Brussels U16 squad, who lost
by a score of 6-0 to visiting Clinton last week. (Vicky Bremner
