This past weekend's Jr C action
saw the Brussels Bulls come away
with two well deserved wins.
Win number one was Friday
night, when the Bulls travelled to
Wiarton to play the Wolves. The
Bulls were looking to avenge last
Sunday's loss to Wiarton which put
them in last place in the league.
The first Bulls' goal came at the
12-minute mark of the first period,
when Steve Henderson bulged the
twine on a feed from Ryan Wright
and Dan Sinclair. Just 55 seconds
later the Bulls took a 2-0 lead on a
blast from the point by Grant.
