On Tuesday, July 13 the ladies are having a driving clinic between 1 - 2 p.m. and 4:30 - 5:30 p.m. The Wednesday morning seniors wrapped up June on a cool morning with 22 golfers taking to the links.

The girls and guys shared many stories and lots of laughs as well as our tasty, hearty wings along with a salad and of course, cold refreshments. On Sunday, the club hosted the Remmington family who withstood some extreme heat playing nine holes of golf and most of all enjoying each other’s company. A great way to get together and share some old stories and a super form of exercising. OUT OF BOUNDS NEWS It is sure great to see several people taking advantage of the view from our scenic patio.

With several Blyth players unable to attend the game, two U14 players, Tyler Boven and Quinton Sjaarda, were pulled up to help out the team. The combined might of the remaining U16 players and the U14 additions were able to beat St. Columban’s squad 6-4. Blyth made some great shots on their opponent’s net in the first half, but the goalie stopped several shots denying Blyth a goal. Micah Nonkes played the first half in net for Blyth and made some nice saves. However, three St. Columban balls passed the goal line and at halftime Blyth was behind by three goals. Blyth came out strong in the second half and finally figured the game out. Greg Roetcisoender sent the first ball into the St. Columban net on a breakaway. JanPaul VanDorp sent the ball into the net after a nice long shot from midfield for Blyth’s second goal of the night. Leendert VanDorp earned a goal with an assist from JanPaul VanDorp. Roetcisoender earned the final goal, his hattrick goal of the night to seal the lead for Blyth. Tyler Boven covered the net for Blyth in the second half and only let one shot get past him. Blyth played with improved skills and determination in the second half to come from behind and win the game. The entire team worked hard together and stepped up their game to come from behind and win the game. On June 16, the Blyth boys U16 soccer squad hosted a game against Brussels co-ed squad. This was a very evenly-matched game. It was a windy night and both teams had a difficult time controlling the ball against the strong gusts of wind. Brussels scored after a penalty shot in the first half to take the lead in the game. The strong winds didn’t let up for the entire game and frustration was felt from all the players as the wind was a difficult hindrance in the game. With very little time left in the second half Skylar Geddes landed the ball into the Brussels net with an assist from Leendert VanDorp. The score ended in a 1-1 draw. U14 Hurricanes beat Goderich 5-0 The Howson Hurricanes bested Goderich 5-0 in U14 soccer at Sparling’s field in Blyth on July 1. The Hurricanes started off well, keeping control of the play and keeping Goderich away from the Blyth net. The Hurricanes finally broke onto the scoreboard midway through the half. Melissa Van Schaik set up Megan Hoggart for the first Hurricane goal. Leanne Plunkett netted another one, with Hoggart assisting, before the half was over. Mckayla Nonkes took net for the Hurricanes in the second half. Nonkes did a good job keeping Goderich off the scoreboard, as Goderich put up some offence. Holly Howson set up Van Schaik for a goal to start off the second half. Mackenzie Nesbitt finished off the Hurricanes scoring by hitting the net twice before the end of the game . Tine Verschaeve picked up one assist. Get down! Brussels took on Belgrave in Squirts Baseball action on Monday, June 28. (Denny Scott photo) Brussels wins!
