Blyth’s Kyle Pollard sent one into the Lucknow net on a pass from Trystan Weber to take a one-goal lead midway in the second. That lone goal would be all that was scored in this game, as goalie Dustin Treble earned a shutout. Blyth’s second game was against a St. Mar’ys team. Blyth fell behind early in the first when a high shot beat the goalie. St. Marys increased their lead by the end of the first. At the end of the second Josh VanSoest went upstairs with a high shot to beat the St. Marys’ goaltender. Assists went to Daymein Brak and Curtis Raynard. The boys came out hard to play in the third and had the game tied up just a minute in, when Ryan Plunkett sent one into the net, with helpers credited to Brak and VanSoest. Just two minutes later the Bulldogs took the lead as Dalton Richmond and Dylan Bromley teamed up to tap one in on a goal mouth scramble. The remaining time in the third period was long and Blyth kept applying the pressure. Treble made several great saves to keep his team in the lead. Then with less than a minute to go and St. Marys applying the pressure with the extra attacker, VanSoest sealed the win with an empty netter. Assists went to Raynard and Plunkett, to win 4-2. The PeeWees headed into Saturday with determination. The team pulled together for a good morning victory over the South Huron team. South Huron scored first for their only goal of the game. Blyth took 10 seconds to answer back with a goal of their own. VanSoest and Raynard teamed up to score. VanSoest scored his second of the game unassisted midway through the second. Pollard scored with an assist going to VanSoest to take a 3-1 lead into the third. Pollard scored his second of the game in the third, and Blyth took a 4-1 victory into the championship game. Blyth took on the second St. Marys team. St. Marys scored first, but just a minute later VanSoest scored with help from Plunkett. The tie held until midway through the third when VanSoest scored again, with helpers going to Raynard and Dallas Coultes. St. Marys scored another late in the third to tie the game and head to overtime. At just 30 seconds Raynard, with an assist from VanSoest, scored the goal that won the game for the Blyth Bulldog Local League.
