very disciplined squad from Rip

Blyth played a strong game
before finally sucumbing to a third
period rally by Ripley and losing by
a 5 - 3 score. Chris Lee played a

in a scoreless first period before
Ripley opened the scoring 1:12 into
the second frame. Blyth then took
over and scored all three of their
goals in the game in less than three
minutes. All three Blyth tallies
were scored the same way. First of
all, Peter Craig found Chris
Howson in front of the net and
Chris quickly tied the game up. On
the nex^ shift, Ryan Chamney

the different surroundings. Blyth
soon got into the game and the first
half ended 7 - 6 in favour of
Wingham.
