Exeter opened the scoring just 30 seconds into the game. It took almost another three minutes of play before the Bulls’ Mike Chapman came through assisted by Tim Fritz to even the score. The Hawks scored the go-ahead goal at the 15:29 mark to take the lead and hold it to the end of the period. Brussels came back at 1:21 into the second period when Tim Fritz scored from Ron Strome and Mike Chapman for a power play goal and tied the score once more. The tie was short lived as Exeter went ahead at 3:44 and added a second quick goal at the 5:30 mark to lead by two. Bill Kerr scored from Kevin Lee at 9:19 to bring the Bulls one goal closer. The remaining 10 minutes of the period was scoreless. The Bulls’ struck early in the third when Tim Fritz scored from Greg Crummer and Bill Haines for a power play goal and evened the score at four. It seemed the Bulls just couldn’t hold on as Exeter went ahead at 1:44 and then scored again off the next face-off at 1:55 to get a quick two-goal lead. Tim Fritz combined with Ron Strome and Mike Chapman to score again at 2:36. The two teams battled away for the remainder of the 20 minutes and were unable to score. Then with just nine seconds left on the clock, the goalie had been pulled once more and the Hawkswere allowed toscore an empty net goal to put the game out of reach for the Bulls. The two teams returned to Brussels on Easter Sunday with the Bulls in a do-or-die situation. They played their usual brand of up-and-down the ice hockey with opportunities missed by both teams. Brussels opened the scoring at 5:21 of the first period when Kevin McArter scored a power play goal from Tim Fritz. They had played 10:15 of period when the Hawks scored to even the game. The remainder of the first period was scoreless. They had played 12:19 of the second period when the Bulls’ Bill Kerr scored from Tim Fritz and Paul Edwards to put Brussels ahead. There was only 1:56 left on the clock when Exeter capitalized in a power play to tie the score at two and end the second 20 minutes of play still even. The third period continued with shots on net even for both teams but nobody was breaking through. Brussels was playing short-hand­ ed when an illegal stick call was made at 9:51 and the Bulls ended up two men short. The Hawks scored two power-play goals at 9:26 and 9:07 to take a two-goal lead. The Bulls failed to score any more goals and the Hawks claimed the series in four games straight. They will now go on to meet the winner of the Tavistock-Lambeth series for the Junior “D” cham­ pionship. Thanks Bulls for a good season. You provided us with some very good hockey.
