Brussels U10 team takes silver
at year-end soccer tournament
The Brussels U10 soccer team
won silver in the year-end
tournament.
The team started out playing Blyth
II and it was a close game, but
Brussels scored early with Wade
Machan finding the back of the net,
assisted by Damon Zielinski. Blyth
tied it up in the second with Hudson
Smith unable to grab it. However,
with minutes left, Wade Machan got
pushed and it caused a penalty kick.
Camden Hamilton blasted one in to
give Brussels the first win with help
from great defence by Mckenzie
McNichol and Kaitlyn Wick.
They then went up against
Goderich with many players away.
The team had to bring up many
younger players who were small, but
mighty.
Brussels scored first with Smith
and Teegan McGavin assisting, but
Goderich scored two quick ones.
Brussels then tied it up with Ronan
Jared poking one in with Dana
Dolmage assisting. With time
running out, the teams went into a
10-minute overtime period but there
was no scoring.
The game then went into a
shootout. Camden Hamilton got the
team its only goal, but Loren
Polland, McGavin, Jacob Roth and
Smith were not able to get one in.
Jared played great in net but two
goals got by.
Brussels still advanced.
The team’s next game was against
Bayfield and it was another close
one. It went back and forth, and
Smith was able to get two in with
Teddy Jacklin and Taylor McNichol
assisting. Bayfield also got a pair.
Overtime didn’t solve anything, so
another shootout was on the way.
After five shooters, it was a tie game
again and it came down to a girl
shooter. Dana Dolmage blasted one
past the keeper giving her team the
win.
Loren Polland and Ronan Jarred
scored in the shootout and Ronan
played fabulous in net.
Brussels went into championship
against Wingham with the team
running out of steam. They worked
very hard. Smith scored the one and
only goal and Wingham took the
win.
Brussels came home with silver.
Thanks to the kids who helped out,
Bennett Smith, Tommy Warner,
James Black, Devin Johnson, Ben
and Joe Jacklin.
Thanks for a great year!
Chip and a Putt – By Bruce Skinn
The weather was the big story this
past week at the Wingham Golf and
Curling Club. Monday, July 12, the
club hosted the Quipp/Rathwell
birthday party. This super group
from the Atwood area, many who
are regulars in the Thursday night
men’s night came to play 18 holes
of golf before their wives joined
them for supper.
All 28 of the men showed up to
play despite the wet weather. With a
rain break for lunch and a couple
more stops to put on some dry
clothing the boys managed to get
most of the 18 holes in before
sitting down for a barbecue chicken
and steak supper. Happy birthday to
Bill and Doug.
The Tuesday ladies had pro shop
worker Trevor Hopf give them a
driving clinic before going out to
play their rounds. Many of the 20
girls showed improvement with
Trevor’s helpful tips.
The Wednesday morning senior
men had 23 golfers last week. Bruce
Boyd was again the story of the day
shooting a terrific one-under-par 34
for low gross honours as well as
winning the closest to the pin
award. Teeswater boy Lloyd
Lamont sank the longest putt. Low
net winner was Glenn McMichael
with Boyd in second and Bill
Brown in third.
The Thursday night men had 3
golfers out before a severe
thunderstorm washed their night
out. Most of the guys were
drenched but came into the dining
room for supper before birthday
boy Doug Rathwell cleaned up in
the dice game. The pins awards will
be carried over until Thursday, July
22.
The men’s match play got
underway this past week with
winners Jason Leroux, Dan
Campbell, Bill Robinson and Bill
Kerr who took 23 holes to edge out
Doug Neil.
Saturday the club hosted the 50th
wedding anniversary of long-time
curling members Marlene and
Stewart Leedham. Fifty family
members and friends joined the
Leedhams in the dining room for
supper – great regards and local
entertainment. Congratulations to
Stewart and Marlene.
