The Blues looked as if they were going to continue their streak especially in the early going when they established a 4-2 lead mid way through the second period but the roof fell in and the Reds scored six unanswered goals. In the first period the teams split four goals; Rick Gwalchmai and Chris Mouratzen for the Blues and Martin Wraith and George Ewer for the Reds. The Blues took the lead on Don Lankin’s power play goal and added to their lead when Mouratzen scored his second of the game. Andy Hardy and Brett Fair­ weather tied the game for the Reds before the second period ended. Four goals in the third by the Reds washed all hopes away as Andy Hardy, Brad Taylor, John Pollard and Daryl Wheat scored. Don Lankin’s second goal of the game with 15 seconds left finished the scoring. Andy Hardy, Rick Gwalchmai and Martin Wraith were the three stars. Five consecutive goals in the second and third periods led the second place Yellows to a 6-1 victory over the Greens. The first period ended in a 1-1 tie when Gary Revington scored for the Yellows and Bill Haskett for the Greens. Two goals by Mike Wraith and singles by Bill Darling, Ron Keys and Gary Revington put the game away and the first win for the Yellows in three weeks. A penalty shot, a first in rec league history, was missed by Wraith. Wraith, Keys and Revington were the three I stars. Tara. Elma-Logan. Drayton, Ripley. Howick and the tournament champs.
