Brussels U-12 soccer team had a
very busy week with year-end
playoffs.
They started off against Goderich.
This was a good game with Brussels
scoring early. Wyatt Ducharme got
the first goal assisted by Stephanie
Hummel. Then Lexi Smith put in a
nice one from the corner and Dalen
Martin picked up two with Laura
Souch and Cody Rathwell assisting.
Delayna Smith scored a high one,
assisted by Hudson Smith and
Ducharme finished the scoring with
his second goal.
That got the team pumped for the
second game against Clinton.
Missing some players, the team held
on and ended the game tied at 1-1.
Martin scored with Lexi Smith
assisting.
There was no time for overtime so
they went right into a shootout.
Clinton put in two on Eric Van Ness
and Lexi Smith was the only one to
score for Brussels.
Friday night they were up against
the first-place team Seaforth. With
players still away they went out and
tried hard. Van Ness played strong in
net but Brussels was not able to pull
off a win.
Brussels moved into the semi-
finals. Saturday morning the team
was keen to play Wingham. It was a
hard game and the locals fought to
the end which finished in a tie.
Martin and Ducharme scored.
The mighty had another shootout
and the two Smith girls put Brussels
on the board. Van Ness made some
beautiful saves to keep Brussels in
the lead and advanced then to the
finals against Clinton.
With the players getting tired and
wet and the goalie having to leave,
Brussels didn’t come out on top, but
they were very happy with second
overall.
Edged out
The Brussels Bantam team was in Londesborough last
weekend for some tournament play, taking on Colborne in
one of Saturday’s first games. The Brussels runner was
edged out at second base here to end the inning. (Shawn

U-12s win tourney A
Local golfers, Dwight Chalmers,
Ken Stewart, John Stewart, Barney
Stewart and Kirk Stewart competed
in the annual WOAA Golf
Tournament, Saturday,Aug. 8 hosted
by the Goderich Sunset Golf Club.
Playing with their celebrity golfer,
Joe McCrea, a former professional
lacrosse player from Waterloo, the
team carded a minus 16 over the 18-
hole course to win by three strokes.
Braving the damp conditions, 132
golfers again made the tournament a
success with profits going towards
the Western Ontario Athletic
Association Programs.
In there
Milverton’s base runner made it to second, but the Blyth
Bantam boys team rallied in the sixth, scoring eight to
cruise to an impressive 12-2 victory. The game was a must-
win for Blyth, which now travels to Milverton tonight (Aug.
20) to play again in hopes of bringing the series back to
Blyth on Aug. 23. (Shawn Loughlin photo)
The weather finally turned hot
but with the heat came the rain at
the Wingham Golf and Curling
Club. The good news the
groundskeepers needed the wet
days to get the course back in great
shape. Many members and visitors
have made comments on the good
playing condition our fairways and
greens are in.
The Tuesday ladies had a
beautiful golf day after the threat of
rain in the morning. Twenty of the
girls came out and enjoyed the golf
and many ate and socialized on the
patio. The golf staff have put
weights in the umbrella stands and
the umbrellas sure add to the scenic
view from the patio.
The Wednesday morning senior
men had 23 golfers this past week.
The winners were: first, Ken
Saxton; second, Doug Neil and
third, Ed Daer. Doug and Ed tied
for low gross with 37. Lloyd
Lamont finished his day with a big
birdie on number nine.
Congratulations Lloyd.
The second round of the men’s
match play was completed. The
winners were Harry George, Clayt
Ruppel, John Tyrell, Bob Gavreluk,
Gerry Edwards, Doug Neil, Lorne
Millen and Bruce Skinn. The next
round is to be completed by Aug.
27.
Thursday the weather man gave
us some of that heat we have been
waiting for and the golfers came
out in record numbers. Buff’s
men’s night had 53 golfers. The
winners were: first 50th golfer,
Trevor Beck; closest to the pink,
John Dailleboust, Lorne Millen and
Jay Marston; longest putts, Richard
Watson and Bill Robinson; hidden
score, Bill Deans and Trevor Hopf
and low gross, 34, Robinson and
Fred Urbshot.
Friday morning Terry Anger put
on another junior clinic for the six
to 12 year olds. Winner of the
putting contest was Brad Pewtress.
Terry is busy teaching the boys
and girls the basic skills and proper
golf etiquette and has a real good
group of golfers.
Another session is available this
Friday, Aug. 21.
The sign-up sheet for the John
Malick Memorial Tournament on
Sept. 9 is available at the pro shop
or call 519-357-2179.
