THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, JULY 2,1997 Sports U-10s battle heat and tough team Wolves, Bears play to 5-3 end On June 26, the Wolves and Bears met on the mini soccer field. It was an exciting, well matched game with end-to-end play. In the end the Wolves scored a total of five goals, while the Bears netted three. Taylor Prior showed good ball Bears, with one being kicked in by Randy Zwep. Alix Sholdice had some solid kicks and came close to scoring and Gavin Bowers grabbed some hard shots while minding the net. The Bears next game is Wednesday, July 2, when they are The Brussels II - U-10 soccer team journeyed into Perth County to battle both the heat and a skilled Wallace squad on Tuesday, June 24. The Wallace team was by far the strongest Brussels has faced so far, as evidenced by the final 10-0 score. In spite of the somewhat lopsided score, Brussels players demonstrated "true grit", continuing to give 100 per cent effort until the final whistle. The whole team demonstrated maturity and good sportsmanship and should Steve Bowers. Of note, halfback Justin Hubbert several times displayed fine ball handling skills, that can no doubt be developed further with hard work and concentration. Alyssa Ruttan played a fine game at fullback, defusing a number of Wallace scoring chances. All other players deserve honourable mention as well, said Bowers. Next Tuesday, Brussels hopes to use the experience gained to achieve improved results when they host an Elma team that tied the Wallace squad.

Scrimgeour's Food Market Queen Street, Blyth Belgrave Mites lose big It was a tough game for the Bel­ grave Mite Boys when they trav­ elled to Belmore, June 23. The squad was shut out until their final at-bat when Trevor Hopf belted a two-run homer, spurred on by Kris Stryker stealing home for the team's first run. The defense made some nice plays behind Hopf, Darcey Cook and Kyle Procter who shared duties on the mound. For the third out in the second inning, Hopf picked up a dropped pop up after two other players col­ lided and got the force out at sec­ ond base. Spencer Shaw made a nice catch in the bottom of the fourth, to get the third out at first base. A nice double play was complet­ ed in the fifth. The batter was auto­ matically out on an infield fly with less than two out and a runner was tagged out trying to advance on the same play. "The Belgrave Boys are starting to come together as a team," says Coach Steve Cook, "but lost to a strong, skilled team from Bel­ more." The final was 21-3. 519-523-4551 1997 BUSINESS REVIEWS JAMES SYMES PAVING & MATERIALS ‘Information Directory 528-3047 RR 5 Lucknow ” A REPUTATION BUILT AROUND SERVICE Tykes in hit parade Extra-base hits led to a big win for the Blyth Tykes when they met Londesboro, June 24.

As driveways and parking lots play an important part in the appearance of the landscape of your property, it is important that the material you choose to surface it with is attractive, but more importantly is durable. Asphalt is flexible, and irr this respect can withstand almost any type of weather conditions.

It is also free from breaks and cracks which would allow weeds to protrude. JAMES SYMES PAVING & MATERIALS is locally owned and operated by JIM SYMES.
