There was only 1:34 remaining when Ken Higgins scored a go-ahead goal from Kevin Deitner. Then just 15 seconds later Dave Stephenson scored from Ken Cousins and Kevin Deitner. An additional 28 seconds passed when Dave Steph­ enson scored his second goal from Cousins to take a 4-1 lead. The Crusaders scored three quick goals in a span of 43 seconds. The Crusaders never looked back as they scored four more goals. Kevin Deitner picked up two of those goals with Dave Stephen­ son and Brian Deitner getting singles. Assists went to Ken Cousins with three, Dave Stephen­ son, two, and Paul Johnston, Randy Clarke and Kevin Deitner with one each.

BEATEXETER The Bulls were at home to the second place Exeter Hawks team for a good game of hockey on Friday night. A good, fast end-to-end first period of hockey took place with the visitors out-shooting the home team by 11-6 but an ever-sharp performance by goalie Jeff Mc­ Gavin kept them at bay. The same good action continued in the second period until the 7:15 mark when right-winger Ron Chambers of the “Smurf Line’’ deflected a shot from defenceman Paul Robinson to give Brussels a 1-0 lead, and the only goal of the Sports Pee Wees eliminated After winning the first game of their playoff round 4-2 against Elma-Logan, the Peewees lost the second game 3-2 in a very close encounter here on Tuesday night.

Exciting hockey action continu­ ed until 14:32 of the period when defenceman Bill Haines scored third and deciding game which was played on Friday night. They just weren’t the same sharp team we had seen in the two previous games and were defeated 6 - 2 by the visitors. Brad Taylor and Darren John­ ston scored the Brussels’ goals but those officiating neglected to honour anyone with assists which is too bad in the minor hockey system. This eliminated Brussels from O.M.H.A. contention. The boys will be playing an exhibition game in Blyth on Monday night.
