But the Lucan keeper cleared it, and afterward neither side could get a break. The only other victory for Exeter’s young soccer players was collected last Wednesday night when Exeter overcame a tie to defeat Lucan 2-1 in a pee-wee division game. Phil DeHaan put the locals in front with a goal in the first half.

T-A photo Play three times this week Tigers beaten in two contests The Dashwood Tigers tackled a couple of southern squads this week and came up on the short end of the count in both instances. At home on Friday, they took a 12-9 loss at the hands of Tillsonburg and a night later in Walsingham they ended up losers by a narrow 5-4 margin. The Tigers started well against Tillsonburg with a two-run first inning, but the visitors came up with five of their own in the top of the second and never looked back, although the losers scored four times in the bottom of the ninth to make the count a little closer. Two errors and a double by Glen Thurman led to Dash­ wood’s two runs in the first. They added another in the second two in the fifth and four in the last inning. Losing pitcher Perry Stover was shocked for 16 hits by the Tillsonburg nine, but he retaliated by leading the Dashwood hitters with a pair of safeties, including a two-run homer in the fifth. Getting one safety each were Barry Baynham, John Hayter, Thurman, Noel Skinner, Kevin Bestard, Bob Hoffman. D. Pidock recorded nine strikeouts in going the distance for the winners, while Stover sent seven batters back to the bench via the strikeout route. In Saturday’s game at Walsingham, the Tigers again fell short in a ninth­ inning rally as they dropped the one-run contest to Senators. They scored twice in first inning on doubles Bob Hoffman and Perry Stover and a single by John Hayter and plated another marker in the fourth when Stover led off with a single and came home on a ground out and a single by Kevin Please turn to Page 11 hit and then with two out and a runner on third, Kelly Ker- nick slammed a base hit to score the winning tally. Meanwhile, the Exeter Greys were moving toward the final as they opened the tournament with a 7-5 win over Cromarty and followed that with a 17-4 drubbing of Mitchell and a 20-3 romp over Thorndale. In the Sunday night cham- . pionship game, Kirkton jumped into a 6-0 lead at the end of the third and appeared to be heading for an easy win. However, Exeter rebound­ ed for five runs in the fifth before Kirkton added two in­ surance tallies in the sixth. Kelly Kernick topped the winners’ batters with six hits in the tournament for a .545 average, while Carrie Stroud hit three safeties. Patti Down and Sue Schaefer had averages of 333.

EXETER Main at Wellington Phone 235-1800 Evenings 235-1130 Local swimmers pass tests By LAURAJOHNS Last week was Health and Safety Week for the children on S.P.A.R.K. The children showed their interest in keeping their neighbourhood clean by participating in a garbage collection walk-a- thon on Monday through Huron Park. Visitors to the playground last week were Deb Wooden from the Exeter Swimming Pool, Jean Dunsford from the Huron County Health Unit and four of the firemen from the Huron Park Fire Department. The children enjoyed the visits from these people in their community who help them to be safe and healthy. This week is holiday week. Monday was a busy day with both valentines and Easter being celebrated. Tuesday the children dressed up as spooks and goblins as we pretended it was Hallowe’en. A party with games and prizes for the best costumes was held in the morning. Wednesday about 50 children travelled by bus to Goderich to participate in a play day sponsored by the. Lake Huron Zone Recreation Association. Christmas in July was celebrated on Thursday morning. The weekly movie show was run as well. A trip to the Fanshawe Pioneer Village in London is planned for tomorrow as an introduction for next week’s theme of Wild West Week. The children will leave at ten o’clock from the play ground and spend the rest of the day picnicking and touring the pioneer village. Beat The Heat...
