THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12, 2002. Sports U-1 is play Elma The Wingham/North Perth Bantam lacrosse team played four games last week and managed an even split of the action. Wednesday, June 5 had Wingham playing host to a team from Elora. The visitors were given a tough welcome and ended up on the wrong end of a 9-1 decision. Wingham got off the mark quickly with three goals in the first. Jason Hamilton scored the first with a little help from Cory Chapman. He was followed by Xavier O'Krafka and Matt Tell with unassisted markers before the period was over. The second period was more of the same with Tell netting the first two markers in the period with an assist on the second from Drew Campbell. Jason Hamilton then put one behind the Elora goalie with a helper from Chris Crawford. Chase Chapman scored from Tell before Campbell got the team's fifth on a play from Dak Youngblut and Chapman with an assist to match his goal. Elora got their only goal in the last minute of the second period as Wingham netminder Christopher Crawford successfully defeated all other Elora efforts. The third period had few scoring fireworks as only Tell with an assist from Campbell was able to put the ball in the net. Youngblut is a new player for Wingham and his handy assist should help him settle in. Tell and Campbell came over from the affiliated North Perth team playing out of Kurtsville to provide a little help. On June 9 the team travelled to Arthur for a tournament. Their 9 a.m. game proved a challenge as the early travel didn't seem to agree with the team. A strong team from Halton Hills took advantage of Wingham's sluggish start to hammer home three first period markers. In the second Hamilton scored from Cory MacDonald. Unfortunately for Wingham the opposition kept up the attack scoring six of their own. Halton Hills scored two in the third and Youngblut replied with his first as a Wingham player on a pass from Jason Keupfer. The 11 - 2 loss and a pep talk from coach Erica Coghlin seemed to fire up the team as they overwhelmed their next opponent from Shelburne. The 10 - 3 win was anchored by MacDonald in net who only allowed Shelburne one goal a period. Cory Chapman initiated the team's flying start by scoring the first three goals, aided and abetted by Dickey Greg, Kuepfer and Hamilton. Hamilton liked the look of his teammate's hattrick and promptly scored Wingham's next ' three with Chapman returning earlier compliments and O'Krafka providing help. Hamilton and Chapman each scored in the third. Crawford scored on a pass from Chase Chapman. Youngblut scored when his long hard shot from the centreline eluded the Shelburne goalie. The consolation final was against Arthur's number one team and they proved too much for a weary Wingham squad. The home side came out hard and fast and had potted nine before Hamilton, assisted by 0' Kano put one by the Arthur netminder. Frustration and weariness got the Soccer results The Brussels U-9s hosted Elma II on May 27 and booted their way to a 2-0 victory. On May 27, the Howick soccer team came in to play Brussels U- 15 squad. The hosts lost this one 7-4. The U-17 Brussels soccer team faced Palmerston in a contest at home on May 30. The visitors won 5-3. better of the team as they played much of the third period with a packed penalty box. The Bantams next play against Guelph on Wednesday at 8 p.m. in Wingham. It was all defence June 4 when Elma l travelled to Brussels to take on the U-11 squad. Early in the contest, Robert Cronin made a smooth pass to Randy Zwep then received one from Thomas Johnston along the sidelines. But the strong Elma team thwarted a good offensive attack. Andrew Lindsay almost broke free for a rush after picking up a pass from Heather Hill, but was slowed by Elma's defense. Vanessa Ropp played well through centrefield, deflecting the ball off her body and them clearing the Brussels end. Elli Schimanski had a good game, playing well along the sides and working hard through the crowd. Going into the second half with no score, Gavin Buwers and Lindsay tried to hit the net, but the Elma goalie was steady. 'Midway through the second half, Elma managed to beat Brussels goalie David Grobbink, to tally the only score of the game. Cam Schlosser handled the defence along with Nick Durrell, Matthew Cardiff, Chris Becker and Johnston, helping netminder Grobbink protect the goal aga- inst heavy pressure for their opponent. Denise Thalen made a good play late in the game. stopping a rush along the sidelines by forcing the attacker away from the goal. Brussels next home game is Tuesday, June 18, at 7 p.m. behind the BMG Arena.
