Sixteen of the 19 players participated, which was another excellent turnout. The first game against Goderich Leeds, a team with which they split wins in regular play, started out well with an early goal by Jeremy Van Amersfoort, assisted by Matt Anderson. Unfortunately, though they held this lead into the second half, Goderich went on to win 3-1. The second game, against Lucknow Mustangs, went much better with Jeremy scoring four times, assisted by Darwin Buffinga, twice, by Teaguen Onn from a throw-in, and by Elisha Courtney. Matt Anderson also had an excellent game, scoring four times also with assists from David, Jeremy, and Darwin from a throw- in, and Kristy Blair. David Ansley also scored a lone goal unassisted, with a final score of 9-1, Lucknow's point being on a penalty kick. They then went on to play for either third place or for the final championship round.

The game ended in a tie, necessitating a shoot-out which Blyth unfortun­ ately lost, leaving them in third place, a good finish for a young team. Special mention should be made to Peter Nonkes who had only six goals against him for the day and to Ross Clark and Matt Clark who played defence the whole day without substitution. Matt Anderson was named MVP for his consistent effort all year. Mr. Onn thanks all players and parents for their support and he hopes to see as good a team next year.

John Verhoog of Exeter served as pastor for the day. Ron Wilts and John Verburg ushered while Gary Nonkes served as solo greeter. Scripture was taken from John 17:6-26 with John 17:9 the text. Rev. Verhoog stated that holiness is the foremost attribute of God. It make shim distinct from man. Despite our weaknesses we are committed to Christ and strive to live for him. Christ's redemptive work on Calvary gives the churches in today's society, full of fault as they are, the aspect of holiness. Rev. Verhoog challenged us to live lives that glorify God's name. The world around us is aware of the faults our churches have. Christians in high leadership positions make mistakes and fail and the whole world hears of it.
