Drew Allen and Tim Walden set up Dan McDougall to put Blyth on the scoreboard in the second because Wingham came back with one more goal to give Blyth a 7-6 victory. In the return game in Wingham Saturday afternoon the Blyth boys may have been suffering from a night out the night before when they took in a London Knights Game in London, because they got off to a sluggish start. After a scoreless first period Wingham got on the board first with a goal three minutes into the second. That lead held up until 5:42 when Ian Atidrews and Rob Finch sent Craig Roulston in on a breakaway and he picked the low corner to the goalie's right to tie the score.

The score after two periods of play was Honeywood 8, Blyth 3. Blyth came out strong in the third period but a fired up Honeywood goalie kept them off the scoreboard until Jason Vander heyden scored unassisted. Larry Hunking assisted by Drew Allen and Dan McDougall scored to help the Blyth comeback. Honeywood stopped any furhter Blyth effort with some strong defensive play. They scored twice late in the third period to close the scoring at Honeywood 11, Blyth 5. This game shows how important mental attitude is to these young boys.
