Two young girls, Brooklyn Mitchell and Dana Dolmage were brought up to play and did a great job. Brussels started the game with Delayna Smith scoring. Jack Pipe assisted. Newton scored, then it was back and forth with Smith scoring three, assisted by Kortney Mitchell, Leanne Exel and Devin Bachert. The final score was 4-3. The team got great goaltending by Jake Mitchell and Dean Scarrow. Converging The U-9 teams converged on the Blyth soccer fields in local action on July 4. The players were divided up into teams.

Darcey Cook is a member of the Chepstow Colts Midget fastball team which placed third at the 20-team Ontario elimination tournament held in Owen Sound June 29, 30 and July 1. This earned the team the right to represent Ontario at the Canadian tournament in Saskatoon Aug. 13-19. The Colts played their first game on the Friday night against Fullarton. It took a couple of innings for the boys to settle down, but by the fifth inning Chepstow had built a 5-0 lead. The team doubled that lead to 10-0 in the seventh to take the first win. Chepstow came up against the strong hometown favourite, Owen Sound, on Saturday. The Colts jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the first inning, but Owen Sound replied with a run midway through the game to tie the score. Chepstow led off the top half of the seventh with a solo homerun and shut the door in the bottom half of the inning, holding on to the 2-1 victory. In the Colt’s third game of the tournament, they met the Linwood Chiefs. Linwood took an early 3-0 lead and although Chepstow had several runners on base, the squad could only manage to push one across the plate, losing 3-1. Playing on the consolation side of the schedule Sunday morning the Colts faced off against Kitchener and captured a 2-0 victory. Chepstow faced Brantford in its next test and stayed alive in the tournament by earning a 7-6 come-from-behind win. The Colts took the lead in the first inning with a three-run homerun. The two teams traded runs in the third inning and Brantford scored again in the fourth. Holding on to a 4-2 lead in the fifth, the Colts ran into a few problems as Brantford scored four times to go ahead 6-4. The Chepstow squad did not give up. The first three batters in the sixth loaded the bases and all three eventually scored to take the lead back going into the seventh. Brantford had the tying run on first base but could not advance the runner as the Colts defence shut the door to preserve the 7-6 victory. With third place and a shot at the nationals already locked up, the Colts would relax for their next game against the Linwood team. A victory would have moved Chepstow into second place, but the rested Linwood team came out swinging and defeated the Colts 5-0. Napanee finished first, Linwood second and Chepstow third. All three teams will represent Ontario in the national tournament in Saskatoon Aug. 13-19. Cook says this is a dream come true. This week the Blyth U-13 Lightning soccer team played against the Goderich Lions. Tyler Boven started in net for Blyth. The action started early with teams exchanging offensive rushes. Goderich struck first with an early goal. The Lightning responded with Ryan Nesbitt netting his first goal, Megan Hoggart and Marion Studhalter assisted. Goderich went ahead scoring a second goal. Blyth battled back with Dalton Carey and Hoggart teaming up to get the ball up to Nesbitt who scored to tie the game. Wyatt Carey took over in net for the second half and had to make a couple of key saves to keep the game tied. Later in the second half Nesbitt completed his hattrick, scoring his third goal of the game. The Lightning held the one-goal lead for the win. To the west Darcey Cook of Blyth, a member of the Chepstow Colt Midget baseball team is heading to the national competition this summer in Saskatchewan.
