Blyth Bantams end with win
BY RUSTY BLADES
The Blyth Bantams completed
their season on March 23 crushing
the Brussels team in a home game
to win the Group Championship.
Blyth started quickly as the line
of Michael Bromley, Tom Lyons
and Ryan Chamney gave them a
2-0 lead in the first 42 seconds of
this pivotal game.
Michael Bromley and Tim Lyons
assisted on Ryan Chamney's
opening goal nine seconds into the
contest and then Lyons and
Chamney set up Bromley 33
seconds later for a 2-0 Blyth lead.
Although Brussels clawed their
way back into the game, Blyth
added two more tallies before the
first period ended for what would
be an insurmountable 4-2 lead.
Tim Lyons scored Blyth's third
goal after a tic-tac-toe passing play
with Peter Craig and Michael
Bromley. Jerrod Button completed
the first period scoring with Tim
Cowan helping him score a short-
handed marker.
Two more goals late in the
second period salted the victory
away for Blyth. The line of
Bromley, Lyons and Chamney
continued their passing wizardry as
Lyons and Chamney assisted on
Bromley's power-play goal.
Christopher Howson and Jerrod
Button then assisted on Blyth's
sixth goal as Brian McNichol
scored what turned out to be
Blyth's final goal of the season.
Puckstopper Chris Lee covered
up all loose pucks near the Blyth
crease the rest of the way and the
quartet of Peter Craig, Wilfred
Datema, Jonathan Collins and
Michael de Jong played rock-solid
defence in the third as Blyth won 6-
2.
This win gave Blyth three wins
Durham wins WOAA Senior A crown
The Durham Thundercats won
the 1992 WOAA Senior ‘A’
Hockey Championship with an 8-3
win and four game sweep of the
Tavistock Royals, Saturday night in
Durham.
The Thundercats, who finished
second to Tavistock in regular
season play, went undefeated
enroute to their consecutive ‘A’
Championship and fourth in the last
six years.
In Senior ‘B’ action the Lions
Head North Stars swept Lucknow
in three games straight with a 9-5
win Friday night in Lucknow. The
North Stars became the first team
and one loss in the round-robin
series which was enough to win the
Group Championship. Congratula
tions to the Bantams for a
disciplined game which ultimately
proved to be the difference in this
contest.
The Group Championship was a
more than fitting way to end
another successful season for the
Blyth Bantams. Because of the
round-robin format there wasn't a
trophy to present but it has now
arrived and has been added to the
Blyth Minor Hockey trophy case,

It might have been just for fun, but this player in last
Saturday's broomball Fun Day in Blyth definitely looks like
he means business. The full day of play was planned to
make up for the January tournament which had to be
cancelled due to stormy weather.
