VERITY BY JANET GRAHAM The Clinton Junior Girls sof- lball team started their season on A winning note as they. defeated Dublin 13.12 in 19 in- nings, The girls played well even though the pitchers of both Minor teams win 3, lose 2 Clinton Minor teams, playing et the weekend, won three and lost two games (1 by default), The Pee Wee team defeated Exeter despite giving up the first goal. Steven Johns equalized for Clinton and Jeff Gibbings scored the game win- ner. The Clinton Cougars (Mosquito), also playing Exeter, over-ran the Centen- nials, 5-1. Rick Myers with two, Phillip Cornish, Roy Browri and Richard Johns scored for the Cougars. Also in Mosquito action, Clinton Stingers travelled to St, Columban and went down 10-0. In the only home game at the weekend, Clinton Sharks (Atom) met Seaforth Kickers with Clinton coming out ahead by a score of 6-1. The first goal in the game came from a penalty shot awarded to Seaforth, but that was all the "Kickers" could muster as the "Sharks" came storming on to score six goals. Brad Forbes and Sean Van Dongen scored three each for the Sharks. Stars were Brad Hymers, Tim Dobson, and Tim Addison. Special mention goes to Wild Bill (Colquhoun), Paul Stephenson and Cowboy (Trace Dallas). Senior club hosts cup On Saturday June 29th, the Clinton Soccer Team will at- tempt to gain a semi-final berth in the third Division Cup, when they meet Grand Bend. Game time - 6 p.m, at the Arena Park. This promises to be an ex- citing game as Grand Bend are an unknown quantity playing in the eastern section of the league. A good turnout is a: 'great` moral booster to these boys so come out and give them your support. teams were forced to pitch six feet further than usual because of a common error by our ,coaches, but we forgive them, Due to rainy weather, the game against Tavistock last Wednesday had to be can. celled. Since Moorefield has dropped out of the league please disregard the scheduled games against them, Last Saturday, the girls travelled to New Hamburg to compete in the Women's Sum-. rrier Games, They played Sar- nia and were trampled on by the score of 16-4,. Sarnia went on to play in the final and may even have won. The girls then played a stacked Dublin team whom we had beaten twice before. We were beginning to wonder who we were playing, Dublin or Milverton. They had a Milver- ton player catching, one on second, one in centre field, and one in left, In case you were wondering, we also had two Milverton players, Sandy Fremlin and Pat Kay who also play for the Clinton team. We came out ahead after seven in- nings, the score being 4.2, The girls played excellent ball, and are to be commended, This left us to play Harriston in the consolation final and the girls lost 10.9 even though we were leading for most of the game. The team would like to thank Ruby and Paul, who gave up a golf tournament to go with us. The day turned out well even if we did lose, The girls played a rained out game against Dublin Sunday afternoon and soundly defeated them 15-10, Some of the younger players displayed their talents with some fine fielding. Next game for the girls is Thur- sday night in Tavistock. Vanastra Gun Club results of Clinton with 15 each. Bill Stewart of Goderich and Glen Mogk of Bornholm tied at 24 hits each at the skeet shoot held last Saturday. Allen Tur- ner of Stratford and Mery Batkin were tied for third spot with 23 each, while Jim Hogg of Seaforth and Harriston Schock of Zurich were next with 21 each. Next came Manfred Dierolf of Goderich with 20, Ashley Gilbert of Goderich with 17 and Bob Schults of RR 2, Clin- ton with 16.
