position and opened with a thund-

9-1.

fight and came out a little on the
short stick as they went down
5-4 with Tom Hodgins supplying
all the scoring punch for the local
group.
The Midget encounter was a
pleasure to watch as both teams
passed and skated almost as well
as if they were in mid-season
form. Dorchester with their new
uniforms failed to dazzle the
Lucan six and both teams battled
evenly to a 2-2 draw.
