The two teams met in Brussels on Friday night. (Vicky Bremner photo) Local PeeWees win 6, lose 2 Despite a solid showing with six wins and only two losses in round robin playoffs, the Brussels PeeWee Local League squad won’t advance. Ironically the final game, which they won was against Wingham, the team that will move on as it has seven victories. Brussels took the lead early in this away contest when Westin McLeod set up Jason Bowman in the final two minutes of the first period. Going into the second two quick Brussels goals put the team up by three, before Wingham finally found the net. This seemed to inspire the team however, which quickly added another to bring them within one. It was back and forth for the rest of the period with the score sitting at 5-4 in Brussels’ favour when the buzzer sounded. Second period scorers for the visitors were Taylor Prior, Bowman, James Dillon and Westih-McLeod. Assists went to Bowman, McLeod with two, Brian Burgess, Ryan Jutzi, Joel Wilkinson and Danny Dwyer. The third period was all Brussels as they shut down the home squad while adding to more to their lead.
